I am attempting to rebuild my development/test environment on a new laptop running windows7 32 bit. imageMagick is one of the modules I had installed in an (ancient) version on my old laptop. I have downloaded and installed perl from dwimperl, which is v5.14.2 and had a couple modules install, and several did not.

  • cpanm Image::Magick - failed
  • cpanm DB_File - failed
  • cpanm Time::HiRes - failed

I searched around and found a discussion on magick failing to install on v5.12, but couldn't tell if that was supposed to have been fixed, or if I need to attempt to recreate the fix discussed for 5.12

should I try installing perl from Strawberry? looks like it is a little newer v5.18 ? is there something I can tweak and re-run cpan installs?

I installed the binaries from imagemagick, from Link first, then cpan again, and cpan still fails....

This is the top part of the build log down to where it really goes south and starts kicking out errors:

  • Why did the install fail, do you have more information than just the "failed" messages you've listed? – Syon Aug 23 '13 at 18:45
  • here is the build log from cpanm: – dan baker Aug 23 '13 at 18:52
  • I can't paste in the build log, its too long... the first error it gives is.... Unpacking PerlMagick-6.86.tar.gz Entering PerlMagick-6.86 META.yml/json not found. Creating skelton for it.

  • Edit your question and add the information there. Please don't put it in the comments. – Syon Aug 23 '13 at 19:01
  • ok, I will try to paste in the top of the log.... – dan baker Aug 23 '13 at 19:06

however we cannot find ImageMagick binaries installed on your system.

Is ImageMagick is in your path, as recommanded in the 4) point? Open cmd.exe and type convert -v or convert.exe -v. If you don't see informations about Image Magick (Windows have a built-in convert command), it is very likely you have to add it to your path.

You also have to check points 1), 3), and 5). After that try again to run installation process through cpanm.

Trying to install for Citrus Perl, I discovered on debugging through the Perl part of the install that the mingw64 install had not included 'pexports.exe'. Downloading that from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/pexports/ and placing it in the mingw64 directory was necessary to solve the problem of a long list of library export symbols not found. Prior to that I had also set the environment variables CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to point to the "include" directory of the ImageMagick install include directory in C:\Program Files (x86). (When you install ImageMagick you should check the box to install also for Strawberry Perl.)
