[cobalt-users] Image Magick Installation in Cobalt RAQ

["Akmin Technologies" <info@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Product:   Java Web Application
Operating system: Cobalt-Linux 6.0 (i586)
Web Server:  Apache
Application server: Tomcat 3.2.4
Database server: MySQL 3.23.49
Java Architecture: JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)

In some of our JSP pages, we are annotating images in the server using
ImageMagick 5.4.5 and Linux X-server and it works fine with RedHat 7.2
version. But while we tried the same in Cobalt RAQ server we are having the
following problem.

While running 'convert' command of ImageMagick, the target image is getting
created. But annotation is not working. An error "FreeType library not
available" is thrown. We have found out that we are having Font library
files (FreeType1) and Font library files (FreeType2) is needed.

Could not install tar.gz of FreeType2 because while trying to install it, an
error "C compiler can't create executable" is thrown.  We could not install
RPM of FreeType2 because while trying to install version 2.2.0 of FreeType
RPM, it is asking for higher version of libstdc++ library (2.2.).

Can anybody tell what should be done to get over this problem?

Regards,
Sathya
