imagemagick install error

[jamesbond]

I tried installing imagemagick 5.3.8 on a freebsd server (hostpro freedom) but when doing 'make install' I get the the following error :

---------------------------------------------------
Writing Makefile.aperl for Image::Magick
make -f Makefile.aperl PerlMagick

I installed it as described in the documentation :

gunzip -c ImageMagick-5.3.8.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd ImageMagick-5.3.8
./configure -prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
identify -verbose logo:

When doing 'make install' the error shows up.

I looked in /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/ExtUtils/ and indeed there is no Miniperl.pm file there.

How can I fix this?

I got Imagemagick running now.
I'm posting my solution in case someone runs into the same issue in the future.

I installed it with :

./configure -prefix=/usr/local --without-perl

instead of

./configure -prefix=/usr/local


Maybe helpful too :

When using PHP it only works if I mention the full path to ImageMagick commands like so:

exec("/usr/local/bin/mogrify -geometry 100x100! /path/to/file"); 

instead of :

exec("mogrify -geometry 100x100! /path/to/file");
