Check out the ImageMagick installation instructions at . Command Explanations sed -i -e 's/\$(LIBLTDL) \$/\$/' Makefile.in: The package will build and install a different version of the Libtool library in /usr/lib. This command forces the package to link to the installed version of libltdl, and not replace it. --with-modules: Enables support for dynamically loadable modules. Contents ImageMagick contains animate, compare, composite, conjure, convert, display, identify, import, Magick-config, Magick++-config, mogrify, montage, Wand-config, libMagick, libMagick++ and libWand libraries, numerous delegate modules and the Image::Magick Perl module. Description animate Animates a sequence of images. compare Compares an image to a reconstructed image. composite Composites various images into the given base image. conjure Processes a Magick Scripting Language (MSL) script to create an image. convert Convert image(s) from one format to another. display Display an image. identify Describes the format and characteristics of an image file. import Captures an X window. Magick-config and Magick++-config Get information about the installed versions of ImageMagick and Magick++. mogrify Transforms an image. montage Composites various images into a new image. Wand-config Get the options required to use the Wand library. Image::Magick <application>Perl</application> module The Image::Magic module allows the reading, manipulation and writing of a large number of image file formats using the ImageMagick library. Run make in the PerlMagick/demo directory of the package source tree to see a nice demo of the module's capabilities.
