Failed in installing pfstools on windows

[Jack]

Hi experts,

I tried install pfstools on windows for two machines these two days,
but both tries failed.

Could you help me to fix my problem? (I am new to the Linux platform)

This looks like a problem with your libMagick-devel package
installation. Did you installed it from sources or from cygwin
packages? What is the version of your package?
What is the version of gcc that you are using (you can check this with
"gcc --version")?

This looks like no libMagick-devel is installed on this machine.

If you do not need support for ImageMagick (libnetpbm10 can handle LDR
images as well), you can always disable it with "--disable-
imagemagick" passed to the ./configure script.

Cheers,

Thanks Rafal,

Problem solved.

What I did is to change the version of libMagick-devel from 6.4.* to
6.3.0.1-2.

Up to this point, people may still encounter another problem with
"octave".
One solution is similar to what you suggest in the above post, by
disabling octave:

****************************
./configure --disable-octave

Hope it helps.

Best,

Jack
