When trying to install Imagemagick via Macports, I keep getting an error when it

  • 0

When trying to install Imagemagick via Macports, I keep getting an error when it goes to build the perl5.12 dependancy. It says: Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I’ve tried updating Macports, installing/building perl5.12 independently, uninstalling and reinstalling perl5.12 to no avail. Here’s what error part of the log says:

Making x2p stuff
:info:build ./perl -f -Ilib pod/buildtoc --build-toc -q

Here’s the whole log.

Does anybody know what’s going on or what I’m doing wrong?
