Imagick - installation

[Derleek]

I've been messing around with installing ImageMagick on MAMP here and there for the past week or so.

 

I finally found this shell script.  Which allowed me to install all of the dependencies needed for my ideal developing environment.

 

After banging my head against the wall for a couple days, I figured out that the Imagick extension was not installed.  I stumbled upon the command 'sudo pecal install imagick' - although I had no idea if i needed to be in a specific directory within the terminal so i just navigated to where I ran the shell script from.  It seemed to go smoothly.

 

I got this message at the end of the pecal install -

Build process completed successfully

Installing '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagick.so'

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/imagick-2.3.0

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location

You should add "extension=imagick.so" to php.ini

 

I then added "extension=imagick.so" in the appropriate line within php.ini - and restarted MAMP.

 

Much to my dismay the error -

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/imagick.so' - (null) in Unknown on line 0

 

I'm guessing it's because the file does not exist - infact there is no imagick.so located on my HD.

 

I'm not sure if this conveys where i'm at or not, I will be vigilantly watching this thread if anyone would like me to clarify anything.

 

Thanks for any help.
