It seems that I have more trouble getting standard Unix things to run on Snow Leopard than any other platform–including Windows cygwin
For the past couple of days, I’ve been trying to get ImageMagick to run on Snow Leopard.
The most obvious way, Mac Ports, fails:
tppllc-Mac-Pro:ImageMagick-sl swirsky$ sudo port install imagemagick
---> Computing dependencies for p5-locale-gettext
---> Configuring p5-locale-gettext
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-locale-gettext/work/gettext-1.05" && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor " returned error 2

tppllc-Mac-Pro:ImageMagick-sl swirsky$
Not wanting to spend another two days figuring out why my libintl doesn’t have a “gettext” function, I tried a different route: the script mentioned here: http://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl
This script downloads and installs an ImageMagic independently of MacPorts issues
tppllc-Mac-Pro:ImageMagick-sl swirsky$ /usr/local/bin/convert
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib
Reason: Incompatible library version: libfontconfig.1.dylib requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0
Trace/BPT trap
It downloads everything and compiles fine, but fails when I try to run it, with the message above.
So now I’m two steps away from ImageMagick, trying to get a newer libiconv on my machine.
I downloaded the latest libiconv, compiled and built it. I put the resulting library in /opt/local/lib, and I still get the same error message:
tppllc-Mac-Pro:.libs swirsky$ sudo mv libiconv.2.dylib /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
tppllc-Mac-Pro:.libs swirsky$ convert
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib
Reason: Incompatible library version: libfontconfig.1.dylib requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0
Trace/BPT trap
Now here’s something interesting. The error message shows it’s looking in /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib.
otools -L shows that this does implement 8.0.0:
tppllc-Mac-Pro:.libs swirsky$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.0.0)
tppllc-Mac-Pro:.libs swirsky$
And, for good measure, I set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to make sure this directory is the one for dynamic libraries.
So even though I do have a library that provides 8.0.0, it’s being seen as 7.0.0! Any ideas why this would happen?
So here’s my question: Is it possible to get ImageMagick to run on OSX Snow Leopard? Are there any binary distributions that have static libraries baked in so I don’t have to worry about these issue/
My google showed up a few hits, and the first or second one had a link to the binary.
