Description Walter Dnes 2006-02-11 17:33:01 UTC
Running on an AMD64 K8 *IN 32 BIT MODE*, i.e. using X86 install (2006.0?)

I use "convert" to salvage underexposed digital photos, using formulas that preferentially boost darker pixels.  E.g. using imagemagick-6.2.2.3-r1

convert -depth 8 input.tif -fx "u^0.8" output.tif
takes 20 seconds to process a 2048x1536 tif on AMD 3000+ k8.

convert -depth 8 ${1} -fx "ln(u*(16-1)+1)/ln(16)" output.tif
takes 60 seconds to process a 2048x1536 tif.

But with 6.2.4.2-r1, "convert" runs, and returns *INSTANTLY*, instead of taking time to process the file.  The output file is a straight copy of the input file, minus metadata, with no processing at all.  I've put the line...

>media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.2.3-r1

in /etc/portage/package.mask as a temporary stopgap.  /etc/make.conf contains...

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=athlon -m3dnow -mmmx -msse -msse2

Over the past few months, I've noticed that I always have to hang back 1 or 2 ebuilds behind the latest stable ebuild to avoid this problem.

Could you test the problem with imagemagick-6.2.6.0?
Comment 2 Walter Dnes 2006-02-13 15:10:39 UTC
I ran "emerge --sync" and updated "sys-apps/manpages".  Everything else was up to date. 6.2.6.0 doesn't work.  It seems to expect a different library somewhere.

$ convert -depth 8  p1010251.tif  -fx "ln((u*(16-1)+1)/ln(16))" x.tif
convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

"revdep-rebuild --ask" did not find any problems.

I su'd to root and found libMagick.so.10.0.0, so I ran the commands

[m3000][root][~] cd /usr/lib
[m3000][root][/usr/lib] ln -s /usr/lib/libMagick.so.10.0.0 libMagick.so.6

Then back to regular user...

$ convert -depth 8  p1010251.tif  -fx "ln((u*(16-1)+1)/ln(16))" x.tif
convert: symbol lookup error: convert: undefined symbol: ConvertImageCommand

Note; if I "su" and run the same command as root, it returns instantly, without an error message.  More data about my settings...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --pretend --verbose imagemagick

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

*DIFFERENT DEPENDENCIES*

I was getting ready to restore the working ebuild (6.2.2.3-r1) when I noticed that  "emerge --pretend --verbose" gives different dependencies between the two versions...

6.2.6.0 adds  "+bzip2 -gs -nocxx" and removes "-cups" from the dependency list.  Does that mean anything?
Comment 4 Walter Dnes 2006-08-11 23:30:09 UTC
You can close out bug # 122511.  The work-around is to run a dummy "convert" pass to convert a "tif" to a tif.  "convert" can then do all sorts of fancy stuff on the converted version.  My guess is that my Panasonic FZ5 camera creates non-standard tiff files that can't be easily manipulated, but can be converted to a standard tiff file.  Now that I know the root cause of the problem, I can take it to the imagemagick mailing list, and throw in a sample file.

I've posted this on the imagemagick mailing list, and sent a sample photo from my camera to the developers.  I'm closing out my bug report as having been referred to "upstream".
