[Bug 994807] Re: ImageMagick version 3 no longer available in Ubuntu 12.04

[mythsmith]

I found this problem in running OOF2 (from NIST), and resolved creating a symbolic link to libMagick 4 library:
         sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libMagick++.so.4 /usr/lib/libMagick++.so.3

Then I run all unittests for the app and everything was OK.

I hope it will work for you app too.

Title:
  ImageMagick version 3 no longer available in Ubuntu 12.04

Status in “imagemagick” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 breaks any binary that depends on libMagick++.so.3, libMagickCore.so.3, etc.
  Sure, I could re-compile everything with every upgrade - but that's a lot of wasted effort, so in practice, not upgrading Ubuntu is the only solution.

  Mac OS maintains compatibility for at least one major version; Windows
  maintains it pretty much forever. I would really like to see Ubuntu do
  something similar.
