hi everybody,
attempting to use `montage' from teh imageMagick package with something like
leads to a crash with the error message
magick/cache.c:2385: failed assertion `cache_info->number_views != 0UL'
this is with version ImageMagick 6.2.7 08/29/06 installed in the 'old' darwinports times, but this seems to be the current version, still.
I tried the same with the most recent version provided via fink (6.1.8 08/28/06): there, everything runs smoothly.
any ideas appreciated.
6.2.9-8 is current for ImageMagick. Sounds like you haven't done a 'port selfupdate' in awhile. See if the new version fixes it.

thanks a lot. fact is, port `montage -version' yielded 6.2.7 _and_ `port outdated' did _not_ list imagemagick so I thought everything was fine (`port selfupdate' told me that everything was up to date). but nevertheless `port info imagemagick' reported 6.2.9.8 as current version, no idea why `port' did not list imagemagick as outdated. anyway, I now uninstalled/cleaned imagemagick and reinstalled, so now 6.2.9.8 is running. but the problem with montage persists, only slightly different: montage -tile 2x2 i1.png i2.png i3.png i4.png now simply gives a Bus error. the tail of the `ktrace' output reads ... 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "/opt/local/share/ImageMagick-6.2.9/type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "/Users/vdh/.magick/type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage PSIG SIGBUS SIG_DFL which to me only shows that some file `type.xml' is nowhere found but seems to be needed to procede ... any more hints? regards, joerg
