Imagemagick mogrify stopped working on Cygwin

Question

I've been using Imagemagick's mogrify on Cygwin, but at some point it stopped working. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling, but still no go.

When I try to run mogrify it trows this error :

/usr/bin/mogrify.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone have any hints on what's causing this ?

Answer 1

ldd /usr/bin/mogrify will show you which libraries the executable is linked with. One or more of them is missing, and they were probably part of another package which you uninstalled.

Answer 2

Let 's see I am about to try graph in addition to image in the selection of packets when installing cygwin...

Answer 3

try this command

cygcheck mogrify

then you'll find that your missing a "cygXdmcp-6.dll"

go find it, and this problem should be solved!

good luck~

Answer 4

Didn't find the cause of the problem, but compiling ImageMagick from source did the trick.
