imread error - invalid image file: __magick_read__: not available in this version of Octave

[Tobias Schneider]

Hello,

I've got a problem using imread:

error: imread: invalid image file: __magick_read__: not available in this version of Octave
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/image/imread.m at line 74, column 7

I am using openSUSE 11.2, for installing octave I used the tools delivered by opensuse (Software Manager YAST). The Octave packages I installed using pkg install.

I already found some posts that may handle the issue:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/db08c2376970
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/weird-problem-with-magick-read-oct-td1656126.html
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29474

But unfortunately I don't know how to apply those information to make my octave running as expected. Hopefully someone might give me some hints? Currently I am very confused...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards
Tobias
