JMagick: Can't Find Dependent Libraries

Question

I've recently installed ImageMagick 6.3.9 and JMagick 6.3.9. from here via ImageMagick-6.3.9-0-Q8-windows-dll.exe and jmagick-win-6.3.9-Q8.zip.

I added jmagick.jar to my project's libraries in NetBeans, and set the classpath to include the folder where ImageMagick is installed (where I also put jmagick.dll).

This is all I've done.

However, when I run my program (which only declares a MagickImage and initializes it) I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: D:\ImageMagick-6.3.9-Q8\jmagick.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, until I read this blog entry that said to restart the computer first. I did and stopped seeing the error.
