FileColumn and/or RMagick woes
I installed the latest version of the FileColumn plugin last night and when I go to upload an image an error is returned saying the file is not of a valid image type. I don''t remember the exact verbage. My system is Fedora Core 3. I have installed RMagick via the gem available at RubyForge. It appears that I have ImageMagick installed. I''m a Linux newbie and I''m really unsure of what the cause might be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I had this problem when ImageMagick didn''t have the correct converters installed. You need converters for the image types you are going to support. In my case that meant JPEG support. You can test if that is the problem by using the identify command line tool on an image of the type you''re trying to work with. My guess is that your ImageMagick isn''t installed the way you think it is. Anyway, start there.> From: <kheon-Wuw85uim5zDR7s880joybQ@public.gmane.org> > Reply-To: <rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org> > Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2005 17:01:49 +0000 > To: <rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org> > Subject: [Rails] FileColumn and/or RMagick woes > > I installed the latest version of the FileColumn plugin last night and when I > go to upload an image an error is returned saying the file is not of a valid > image type.

The pain still continues. I have tried every tutorial for installing ImageMagick and RMagick that I can find (most are all pretty similar). I have installed ImageMagick with JPEG support, I tested this using the identify command on a jpeg image, it reported back properly... ...yet when I try to upload a jpeg image using the FileColumn library it fails with an "invalid image" error. If I upload a gif image everything works. I don''t know what to try next. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have the JPEG libs installed on your system? Sounds like the issue. I used to have a similar problem when using Perl/PerlMagick and trying to maniupate PNG images without libpng installed.

I built them, successfully I believe. Wouldn''t being able to run identify on a jpeg indicate that they are installed or is that misleading? If that isn''t the case how can I determine if they are installed and if not, where do I get them and how should I install them (to minimize headaches). Thanks for the reply.

Try typing "mogrify -resize 10x10 whatever.jpg" from the command line. As I recall, identify does not require extra libraries, because it only looks at the EXIF data at the beginning of the file, and doesn''t need to do any manipulation.

I was able to resize a jpg so it would seem that ImageMagick and the JPEG libraries are installed. I''m trying to rebuild/reinstall RMagick to see if that helps any. What is the correct way to install RMagick as a gem? Is it simply gem install <gemfile>?

Kyle - I had problems getting RMagick working on an FC3 box. (Although I haven''t tried FileColumn) Definitely install RMagick from source and NOT from a gem. In the README section of the tarball there is some useful stuff about properly linking to the ImageMagick libraries. Finally, you can make sure that RMagick is properly installed through irb: $ irb > require ''rubygems'' > require_gem ''rmagick'' > Magick.inspect The first two commands should return "True" and the last one "Magick". I recommend testing in irb and then trying FileColumn. If it still doesn''t work at least you will know it''s not ImageMagick or RMagick.

Success! Thanks to everyone for their help. I completely uninstalled RMagick, I think over the course of all this I had installed it as a gem and from source. I uninstalled the gem, did a make uninstall from source and then cleaned out the rmagick-1.9.3 folder in the gems directory. Issued a gem install <gemfile> and let it run (which took quite awhile because my FC3 box is a pretty old repurposed workstation). I used the irb tip below with success and then tried my previously failing image upload code and finally saw it complete. Once again, many thanks to all.
