    I just ran into this as well. It appears to be a bug in the module that is waiting for the fix to be merged.

    Does anyone have a workaround to fix this issue?

    sa3dy - there wouldn't be a workaround available since we're waiting for PHP to resolve the issue.

    cd /usr/src
    wget https://codeload.github.com/Imagick/imagick/zip/refs/heads/master
    unzip master
    rm -fr master
    mv imagick-master imagick
    cd imagick
    /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/usr/bin/phpize
    ./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/usr/bin/php-config
    make
    make test
    make install
    echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/etc/php.d/imagick.ini
    service httpd restart
    cd ..
    rm -fr imagick

    The problem is resolved Imagick in PECL for ea-php83?

    I don't like code deviations, nothing against the partner above who mentioned a temporary solution.

    Mecca - when it is officially released, it will be fixed, yes.

    The issue is still set to "open" on the PHP side of things.

    https://gist.github.com/Wirone/d5c794b4fef0203146a27687e80588a6

    Any advice ? I am too waiting for this to be resolved to update to PHP 8.3

    Any update?

    You should really be asking PHP if there is an update, as this one isn't up to us at all.

    Where can we do that ? Open a ticket or bump it with PHP ?

    It seems its taking too long for such a common module

    Edit: 

    I ve found some issues open on https://github.com/Imagick/imagick/issues but not sure which one to bump or this is the place to ask for it

    It would seem that this is the main case for the issue at this time:

    Would there be any problems attempting to manually install imagick?  https://github.com/Imagick/imagick/issues/640#issuecomment-2040748300

    I understand it might have issues itself which I can test for, but would it cause issues within WHM/cPanel?  I'm on CloudLinux and using their PHP selector.

    You're welcome to try it!  Although I can't say if it will properly interface with everything in cPanel, but many of our tools now simply rely on Yum.

    WJNLLC, when using that code I get this after "make test":

    make: *** [Makefile:136: test] Error 255

    Any ideas / suggestions on how to get past this, make this work?

    And apparently the fix has been merged into the dev branch of Imagick, but nobody's rolled out the new release yet, and when I try the manual build / install approach above with this dev release, I get the same make test error...

    Serb Maybe you need ImageMagick-devel, if it is already installed then ignore if not then try again
    yum install ImageMagick-devel -y

    I followed the WJNLLC entry - 

    cd /usr/src
    wget https://codeload.github.com/Imagick/imagick/zip/refs/heads/master
    unzip master
    rm -fr master
    mv imagick-master imagick
    cd imagick
    /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/usr/bin/phpize
    ./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/usr/bin/php-config
    make
    make test
    make install
    echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/etc/php.d/imagick.ini
    service httpd restart
    cd ..
    rm -fr imagick

    Now I am getting version mismatch. How do I properly uninstall this and go back to PECL package?

    IIsengard - I can't say for sure, as manual installations that like aren't something we support.  You'd want to under all that work and ensure there are no adjustments to the cPanel configuration files in /opt

    Do install again at the last step try
    make uninstall

  • cPRex Jurassic Moderator

    No, you'll have to remove everything by hand.

    I get the following error - 

    [root@server imagick]# make uninstall
    make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'.  Stop.

  • cPRex Jurassic Moderator

    That's correct, because "uninstall" is not a valid command.

    Was reading a bit and found this (it's been a looong time since I did C programming)

    "Running make -n install can be helpful, since it will show the steps that the software would take to install itself but won't actually do anything. You can then manually reverse those steps."
