Anyone managed to install ImageMagick with Linux, PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.7

The following works fine:

PHP Code:

 $thumbnail = new Imagick($pix);
  $wid = 128;
  $thumbnail->thumbnailImage( $wid, 0 );
  $thumbnail->enhanceImage();

  $thumbnail->sharpenimage(1,1,Imagick::CHANNEL_ALL); //$radius, $sigma, $channel);
  $ok = $thumbnail->writeImage( 'thumbs/'.$thb ); 


Problem - cannot use CodeIgniter  Image Library: 
The $config['library_path'] is incorrect.



Tried the following without success:

PHP Code:

// PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.7
$paths = array 
(
  '/opt/local/bin',
  '/opt/local/bin/',
  '/usr/bin/mogrify',
  '/usr/bin/mogrify/',
  '/usr/bin/convert',
  '/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/',               // 20-imagick.ini
  '/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-imagick.ini', // extension=imagick.so
  '/etc/ImageMagick',
  '/etc/ImageMagick/',
  '/usr/include/php5/ext/imagick',
  '/var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-imagick.prerm',
);
$path = $paths[0..10]); // tried all 10 options :-(
echo '$path --> ' .$path .'<br />';

$this->load->library('image_lib');

$config['image_library'] = 'ImageMagick'; // $config['image_library']     = 'imagick';
$config['library_path']    = $path;
...
...
if ( ! $this->image_lib->resize())
{
   echo '<h1 style="color:red">' .$this->image_lib->display_errors() .'</h1>';
}
// Output
   Image processing failed. 
   Please verify that your server supports the chosen protocol 
   and that the path to your image library is correct. 


Cracked it although it maybe a KLUDGE?

what through me was the incorrect error message stating the image_library path was incorrect which I knew was OK so I investigated CodeIgniter 3.0-0 source files:

File: ./CodeIgniinter 3.0-0/system/libraries/image_lib.php

PHP Code:

# Line: 887
$retval = 1;
// exec() might be disabled
if (function_usable('exec'))
{
# MISSING function value
# @exec($cmd, $output, $retval);


# PLEASE READ POST: #4 - THIS MODIFICATION IS UNNECESSARY
# ADDED function value 
$retval = @exec($cmd, $output, $retval);
} 


I was wondering,am I the only one using the ImageMagick library because without this modification the incorrect error message is returned?

Without corrupted language file it's impossible that line was causing given error about incorrect path, because that message is returned on a line far above the one you modified. Also, it's failing because imagemagick returns error status code. You should properly debug this by seeing output of $output var.

I had spent a long time trying to get ImageMagick to work. I think it was coincidental that the modifications I made managed to get the library to work. I have since removed the modification and the image library is now working fine.
