Hi,

I'm having a hard time trying to get ImageMagick running on Mac OS X (Intel)
10.4.10.  Hoping someone can help?

My current issue is below:

greg-computer:~ greg$ convert
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/convert
  Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 6.1.0 or
later, but libXt.6.dylib provides version 6.0.0
Trace/BPT trap
greg-computer:~ greg$

Background info of how I got to this stage:

   - Have been following instructions from
here<http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html>and got to Step
   5 <http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html> (Install
   ImageMagick)
   - At this step it talks about downloading the source from ImageMagicK
   from here<http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#macosx>however
there isn't a source download, only a binary for OS X.  So I used
   the Darwin ports mechanism to load
   - I'm not sure at this point however whether I'm expected to following
   the bullets points between "export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-
   6.3.5" and "export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib" (on the same
   page as the above bullet point link), as I think this may only apply to the
   "download tarball" method (not the darwin ports install method)?  Can anyone
   confirm this?
   - In any case at this point if I issue a "convert" I get the
   above-mentioned issue
   - Note that I loaded X11 off Mac install disk, and then did an online
   update
   - Oh, I whist following the steps (from first bullet), I haven't
   manually updated any PATH info in my profile(?)

Other info:

greg$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

greg$ sudo find / -name convert
/opt/local/bin/convert
/opt/local/var/macports/software/ImageMagick/6.3.5-0_0+darwin_8/opt/local/bin/convert

Anything else you would need to make sense of this just let me know  :)

Thanks in advance
Greg
