I am running version 1.7.3 of xampp on the linux box (Ubuntu)
I installed imagemagick on the machine and also installed imagick for PHP (first Installed XAMPP's development package and then installed shared extension imagick using PECL)
The PHPInfo file shows that imagick is installed, when get_loaded_extensions() function in PHP shows that imagick is loaded but when it try to call imagick functions, it throws the errors.
Update: Some info on the issue:
PHP Version 5.3.0
imagick module version 2.3.0
ImageMagick version 6.5.7-10
I am not sure what could have gone wrong, please let me know if anyone knows the workaround or fix for this issue.
Thanks
