[Magick-bugs] Trouble with Mac Installation

[Rich Cook]

Can you give me the output of the following two commands?
First, cd to the directory containing ImageMagick-universal-apple- 
darwin9.2.0.tar (since it's unzipped as you say)
Then tell me the output of

pwd
tar xvfz ImageMagick-universal-apple-darwin9.2.0.tar

I will then tell you what to do to fix your problem.  :-)
