phpThumb reports that ImageMagick is not installed was created by torkil

When uploading a rather large image, I got this error:

Code:

Failed2:
phpThumb() v1.7.9-200805132119

All attempts to create GD image source failed.
ImageMagick is not installed (it is highly recommended that you install it).
Source image is too large (4000x3000 = 12.0Mpx, max=13.4Mpx) for GD creation (either install ImageMagick or increase PHP memory_limit to at least 66M).

phpThumb() v1.7.9-200805132119 in file "phpthumb.class.php" on line 216

setSourceFilename(/.../public_html/components/com_flexicontent/uploads/cimg1627-3.jpg) set $this->sourceFilename to "/.../public_html/components/com_flexicontent/uploads/cimg1627-3.jpg" in file "phpthumb.class.php" on line 243

  file_exists() = 0 in file "phpthumb.class.php" on line 1105

is_executable() = 0 in file "phpthumb.class.php" on line 1106

I did "which convert" and "convert --version" from the commandline, and found that convert is located at /usr/local/bin/convert, and that Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-2 2011-06-17 Q16 www.imagemagick.org .

So as far as I can tell it is installed, phpThumb just doesn't know it yet. How can I fix this? I found no configuration options for ImageMagick path in Flexi.

Edit:
Someone else possibly identified the problem here, a year ago:
stackoverflow.com/questions/1877 ... ck-imagick

Might seem like ImageMagick changed the way it outputs it's version string, and that it's now incompatible with phpThumb?

Did you test the fix suggested ??

Please, test and i will alter the phpthumb.class.php to include the fix of proper imageMagick version detection.

This could possibly be fixed in the latest versions of phpThumb already. Perhaps FLEXIcontent should just bundle a newer version of phpThumb?

mmm in FLEXIcontent v2.0 for J1.7 :

-- We have just added multibox v2.0 (for mootools v1.2) in for the image field. (so image popup is now working properly)
-- And also a new slideshow javascript library (for mootools v1.2) for the mini-gallery field.

We could update PHPthumb too for both FLEXIcontent versions ... just we have some small customizations to the PHPthumb and wanted to avoid this now, since it might break some stuff just before final version of FLEXIcontent v1.5.6, mainly if the new PHPthumb version has behavioral changes.

NOTE: that recently we added (SVN only) to v1.5.6beta3 and v2.0beta5, ability for image field to rebuild thumbnails when the size are reconfigured, and also for mini-gallery field:
-- for v1.5.6 ability to have playback controls and to hide thumbnails
-- for v2.0 ability to have multi rows / cols and position thumbnails everywhere.

Now the mini-gallery field despite using different slideshow library have almost the same basic abilities for both FLEXIcontent versions.

Also the image field has many other enhancements in v1.5.6 (see its configuration options) like default image if no image is defined.
