I'm not sure if there is a better way to get the latest version of ImageMagick installed, I had tried the .rpm but got loads of missing dependencies so tried the source compile route instead.

In order for the unit tests to pass, you need to install the Freetype development package before you build ImageMagick from source. Once Freetype is installed, the ImageMagick build process will detect it and include support for font rendering.

[dlemstra]

Besides Freetype you also need Ghostscript. I installed the following packages on my Ubuntu machine:

apt install libfreetype6-dev
apt install libfontconfig1-dev
apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer # you prob don't need this.
apt install ghostscript

And I now get the following result:

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for ImageMagick 7.0.4
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 86
# PASS:  86

Thanks @dlemstra that did the trick, I didn't install ttf-mscorefonts-installer, just the others and all tests passed :)

Hi, I followed the instructions by @dlemstra and I get this error
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libfreetype6-dev : Depends: libfreetype6 (= 2.4.8-1ubuntu2) but 2.4.8-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken #packages.

What do I do now?
