Hi all,

So I've been tasked to install pfstools.

My inintial ./configure yielded these errors;

### snippet ###

OpenEXR no
The following command(s) WILL NOT be compiled: pfsinexr
pfsoutexr
ImageMagick++ no
The following command(s) WILL NOT be compiled: pfsinimgmagick
pfsoutimgmagick pfsouthdrhtml
JPEG-HDR no
The following command(s) WILL NOT be compiled: pfsinjpeghdr
pfsoutjpeghdr
GDAL no

Unfortunately the powers that be want those commands; pfsinexr,
pfsoutexr, etc...

I installed OpenEXR using both yum and just going to ILMs site,
downloading and compiling the source.

After doing a make clean, I still get the missing OpenEXR. I'll also
need to do ImageMagick++ as we only have ImageMagick installed but I
would like to see if this problem isn't symptomatic of a bigger issue.

Any ideas how I can get this to work?

Thanks in advance,
- aurf

PS I'm on Centos 5.3x64.

Have you installed _both_ the OpenEXR and OpenEXR-devel packages?

Hi Eduardo,

That worked. Thanks alot!

However what is ImageMagick++?

I have ImageMagick and Imagemagick-devel installed but I still get
complaints of ImageMagick++ not found.

I read off the ImageMagick site that if compiling from source, Magick+
+ gets installed, is this what ImageMagick++ is?

I installed both via yum and via source and still no luck.

I think you need to install the "ImageMagick-c++" and "ImageMagick-c++-devel" packages now.

Wow, that worked!!!

How should I have gone about finding the true name of the package to
install?

One final question, what about JPEG-HDR, I'm looking around and is it
part of another package?

And when the configure complains about missing opengl, what package is
it referring to as I have both mesa-opengl-devel, libGL-devel
installed.

I am really sorry for the traffic, and if you have any advice how I
can get a clue on this stuff myself, I am all ears.

Glad to hear that.

Hard to say: a bit of Google, a bit of not-so-common knowledge, a bit of
previous experience, a bit of looking into the configure script...

I could not find JPEG-HDR myself; but unless you use another application
capable of reading / writing JPEG-HDR files, I would not care about it.

Ah, OpenGL, the beast... This was the hardest one, I recall installing
lots of packages, until I found the correct one; sadly, I do not
remember which one. I would start with those:

freeglut[-devel]
glew[-devel]
mesa-libGL[-devel]
mesa-libGLU[-devel]
mesa-libGLw[-devel]

Do not worry about the traffic, this list was too quiet!

Very cool, thanks to you, its running.

I'll let you know if I find what JPEG-HDR package really means.

freeglut allowed the opengl prereq to be satisfied.

Many many thanks!

JPEG-HDR is a variant of the JPEG format that stores a tone-mapped
image in JPEG (fixed tone-mapper) and encodes extra HDR information in
JPEG marker blocks. There is a paper with the details:

http://anyhere.com/gward/papers/cic05.pdf

As far as I know only PhotoSphere on Mac can read JPEG-HDR.

The library used to be included on the DVD with the book:

http://books.google.com/books?id=dH2lRxTg1UsC&pg=PP1&dq=high+dynamic+range+imaging&ei=zhn8Sub1KaX2NI2DiaEP#v=onepage&q=&f=false

buy it may have been changed as the format is owned now by Dolby.

Cheers,

Rafal

Thanks Rafal, very informative.

As I'm understanding the needs of my users, would you happen to know
of a Linux based Raw -> HDR converter?

I'm going t play around with hdrgen and see if my users will like it.
