GraphicsMagick - Binary Install

Install GraphicsMagick on AWS EC2 running Ubuntu Linux

I use GM to render thumbnails of png and jpg images.

Sadly the GM installation guide doesn't describe how to get things working on AWS EC2.

Prepare for installing GraphicsMagick

PROMPT> sudo apt-get update

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install libpng12-0

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install ghostscript

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install libfreetype6

PROMPT> sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev

Download GraphicsMagick's source code (9 MB). This takes about 10 minutes

PROMPT> wget ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/1.3/GraphicsMagick-1.3.26.tar.gz

Unzip and configure GraphicsMagick

PROMPT> tar xzvf GraphicsMagick-1.3.26.tar.gz

PROMPT> cd GraphicsMagick-1.3.26

PROMPT> ./configure

Check that the result of configure looks like this

It must have png and jpg support, otherwise GraphicsMagick won't be to much help making thumbnails.
