In Progress CPANEL-42184 - Can't install ImageMagick Perl module on AlmaLinux 8

[swbrains]

I have a new dedicated server running AlmaLinux 8.7.0. ImageMagick 6.9 is installed. When I try to install the Perl module for Image::Magick, it shows version Image::Magick - latest:7.000011 and can't install it. It gets errors at the end:

FAIL
cpanminus failed with non-zero exit status: 1

All available perl module install methods have failed

It appears to be trying to install an ImageMagick 7 Perl module but when I run convert --version, I see that 6.9 is installed. How can I get the ImageMagick Perl module installed successfully?

Thanks!

Hey there! This looks like an actual issue with the perlinstaller tool detecting the wrong version. I'll get a case opened with our developers in just a bit!

Thanks so much!

I created case CPANEL-42184 with our developers, and I'll be sure to post once I hear something!

I wondered if there was any update on this as I still have the same issue. Thanks.

Let me reach out to the team and I'll get back to you!

Our devs are exploring a few different options right now. I can't say what the ultimate plan is for this since that hasn't been decided, but they are working on the issue.

My server admins were able to install IM directly on the server so I have access to the command-line tools, but the Perl interface would be nicer to have. I was able to modify my scripts for now to call out (shell) to the command-tools like "convert" to do the image resizing/flipping, etc. that I needed. Luckily I was only using a few functions so it wasn't a major hassle for me.
