Yosemite freetype and ImageMagick error fixer

gistfile1.txt

There's bummer errors on installing ImageMagick on Yosemite (as I write this, I'm on DP5). Here's the errors and fixes at the terminal.

Homer: jason$  brew reinstall --debug freetype
/usr/local/Library/brew.rb (Formulary::StandardLoader): loading /usr/local/Library/Formula/freetype.rb
==> Reinstalling freetype
/usr/local/Library/brew.rb (Formulary::StandardLoader): loading /usr/local/Library/Formula/libpng.rb
Warning: freetype-2.5.3_1 already installed

Homer: jason$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2 /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.3_1

Homer: jason$ brew install ImageMagick
Error: You must `brew link freetype' before imagemagick can be installed

Homer: jason$ brew link freetype
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.3_1... Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2/include/freetype2

Ok, let's fix the symlink manually.

Mira-3:rails jason$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.3_1 /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2

Check our work.

Homer: jason$ ls -la /usr/local/Cellar/freetype
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   4 jason  admin  136 Aug 14 15:17 .
drwxr-xr-x  18 jason  admin  612 Aug 14 15:10 ..
lrwxr-xr-x   1 jason  admin   34 Aug 14 15:17 2.5.2 -> /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.3_1
drwxr-xr-x  10 jason  admin  340 Aug 14 15:16 2.5.3_1

Looks good, now let's continue on with ImageMagick.

Homer: jason$ brew install ImageMagick
==> Downloading https://downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/mirror/ImageMagick-6.8.9-5.tar.xz

==> make install
Error: An unexpected error occurred during the `brew link` step

Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/lib/ImageMagick

Ok, let's see if we can patch this one up.

Home: jason$ ls -la /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 jason  admin  102 Aug 14 15:18 .
drwxr-xr-x  19 jason  admin  646 Aug 14 15:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x  14 jason  admin  476 Aug 14 15:19 6.8.9-5

Homer: jason$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.9-5 /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10

Now, we have to add all the binaries. To do this, we need to go to the usr bin dir and symlink all the image magick binaries.

Homer: jason$ cd /usr/local/bin
Homer: jason$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.9-5/bin/* -t .
Homer: jason$ convert --help

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-5 Q16 x86_64 2014-08-14 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates: bzlib freetype jng jpeg ltdl lzma png xml zlib

Usage: convert [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ...] [options ...] file

(etc, etc). Now we'll see if it works for Rails.

Thanks a lot ! It works !

Hello, I installed Yosemite and reviewing a project in php, I have an error: FreeType with GD or ImageMagick PHP extensions are required.

I performed the steps you described to solve it, but still shows me that error. You know why?

Thank you.
