As I wrote last time, I did a clean Ubuntu 9.04 install on my main PC. Everything worked pretty well. But after re-installing all the packages I needed for C++ development, I realized that I still was missing some libraries as I got “Magick::ErrorMissingDelegate” exception (ImageMagick: no decode delegate for this image format) when I tried to open JPEG or PNG images from code utilizing Magick++ image library.

After a quick search on ImageMagick’s site I realized that I was missing the following libraries:

libpng12
libjpeg62

Note, that you might want to use the following commands to find out the exact package names:

sudo apt-cache search libpng
sudo apt-cache search libjpeg

sudo apt-cache search libjpeg
And then use the following commands to install the packages:

sudo apt-get install libpng12-0 libpng12-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev

Note that after that, you will need to re-configure and re-build the Magick++ library (e.g. ./configure, ./make ./make install) so that Magick++ library can be linked correctly with the above libraries.
