image::magick problem solved

My hosting service recompiled image::magick for me today - I have been unable to create mt thumbnails for several months and finally got around to putting in a help ticket. I'm SO happy to have it back! the boys at dixiesys and 8-95 rock!

problem: automagical thumbnail feature in MT suddenly quit working, yielding a "page not found" error as well as the following entry in error log whenever mt.cgi or mt-check.cgi looked for imagemagick:

[Tue Feb 8 18:15:35 2005] [error] [client 12.34.56.789] Premature end of script headers: /home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/mt/mt-check.cgi /usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so: undefined symbol: SetWarningHandler

I found several threads on MT's support forums where users had similar problems. Just about all reported success when their hosts did a forced reinstall of image::magick (whole package with perlmagick, not perlmagick separately). QUOTE FROM ONE THREAD: "Note to Red Hat admins who need ImageMagick-perl for users: Don't bother with the RPMs -- that way lies grief - they install themselves incorrectly. Install the whole ImageMagick tarball from source and PerlMagick gets installed correctly at the same time."

Passed all of the above on to my tech support guys and they fixed me up... huzzah!
