Mikko, first of all let me echo the thanks for your work on imagick — it is great.

However I am having problems with making the .so for php5 with recent versions of imagemagick … the make goes smoothly however the module created causes PHP and Apache to have ‘seg faults’. Apache complains of “seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process” and the PHP CLI reports”Segmentation fault” whenever anything is run.

the package created with “ImageMagick 6.3.7 08/07/09 Q16″ seems ok, but with when created with “ImageMagick 6.6.2-2 2010-06-05 Q16″ or “ImageMagick 6.5.9-3 2010-02-12 Q16″ the seg fault appears

Do you have any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks for all your hard work on imagick! However, I’m also having trouble with getting it to work on a Windows box. Any chance of either some updated php_imagick.dll binaries or a guide to compiling them from code for win32/x64?

I’d be happy to run some up-to-date compiles if it’s not too involved.

Puhutko suomea? Look the website http://www.leuku.fi

I have some problems to make imagick work on our new Windows Server 2008 64 bit configuration. What is the working version and what dll should we use for php? I tried ImageMagick-6.6.1-Q16 and 2009-11-18 23:33 – php_imagick_nts.dll (3.0.0-dev)

First, I’d like to thank you for the great work you do on Imagick. It’s awsome.
But, could you please give an example on how to draw a quadratic Bezier curve using pathCurveToQuadraticBezierAbsolute method or anything else?
I couldn’t find any example on how to use it with php, so any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Is there an efficient way to reduce the filesize of 24-bit PNGs (because of alphatransparency)? I tried:

$thumb = new Imagick($file->getPath());
$thumb->setImageFormat(‘png24′);
$thumb->setCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_LZW);
$thumb->setImageDepth(8);

but setting the compression does not seem to have any effect. If I output information via identifyImage() I get “JPEG” as “compression”.

The other strange thing is, that IrfanView tells me the image had 64 BitsPerPixel.

I love your blog. It is the unofficial bible of Imagick. I have been using imagick for some time, but I still can’t get get imagick to load any fonts or work with png images. Both really big drags. If want to help out contact me from one of the options on my website.
