Macports Imagemagick Install for PHP

Question

I'm trying to install Imagick for PHP via Macports and the PECL extension, based on the guide here:

sudo port install ImageMagick

sudo pecl install imagick

I entered the opt/local path and setup my php.ini file.

However when I start PHP I get the error:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagick.so' - dlopen(/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagick.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

I've searched for the imagick.so file and am unable to locate it anywhere.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

My bad: After selfupdating macports and reinstalling: I found the imagick.so in the location:

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

So I created a symlink to this in my macports directory:

/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

Restarted apache and it seems to load now.
