Can't locate Graphics/Magick.pm in @INC

[Darren Conway]

Hi

I have tried to install GraphicsMagick on a server and it doesn't work.

I did server installation on an older 32bit PC.

The version of Ubuntu is:

$ apt-cache policy graphicsmagick
graphicsmagick:
  Installed: 1.3.12-1.1build1
  Candidate: 1.3.12-1.1build1
  Version table:
 *** 1.3.12-1.1build1 0
        500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

A search for the package found:
$ sudo find / -name Magick.pm
[sudo] password for darren:
darren@alpha:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep magick
graphicsmagick install
libgraphicsmagick3 install

I tried to compile check the following test script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# ===========================================================
use warnings;
use strict;
use Graphics::Magick;

my $imageFile = "/var/images/trackcam1/lastsnap.jpg";
my $logoFile = '/home/darren/logo1.jpg';

  my $logo=Graphics::Magick->New();
  $logo->Read($logoFile);

  my $image=Graphics::Magick->New();
  $image->Read($imageFile);
  my $webImage = $image->Composite(image=>$logo, gravity=>'NorthWest');
  $webImage->Set(quality=>100);
  $webImage->Write("jpg:/var/images/trackcam1.jpg");

  undef $imageFile;
  undef $logoFile;
  undef $webImage;

exit 1;

$ perl -c compositeTest.pl

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at compositeTest.pl line 5.

A search for Magick.pm ($ sudo find / -name Magick.pm ) did not produce the results.

I have seen this bug on 2 servers. On the first I was building/developing the software.
I came across this bug and couldn't find a solution on Google or the Ubuntu forums.
I thought I might have mangled Perl.

I then built a 2nd server starting with a blank HD.
Prior to installing the Magick package, I did apt-get update then upgrade.
I have exactly the same error message on the fresh server installation.
I haven't done anything that might mangle Perl.

In short:
Installing the GraphicsMagick package was not successful.
I expected to be able to interface Perl scripts with the GraphicsMagick API.
I got exactly the same error message on two nearly identical server installations.

For clarification, the GraphicsMagick package installation appeared to be successful.
The first indication of a problem was when I checked the test script.

[Darren Conway (darren-conway)]

I found the problem.

The line:
  my $webImage = $image->Composite(image=>$logo, gravity=>'NorthWest');
has a syntax error.

When the line is changed to the following:
  my $webImage ->Composite(image=>$logo, gravity=>'NorthWest');

It worked.

So this is not a bug with Graphics Magick and should be disregarded.
