That would be good, but an installable .dmg would be great! It took more time and resources to get IM working on Mac OSX Lion than it did to install Lion itself. It's just an app, for goodness' sake! I am not averse to struggling with the command line interface (although the existing documentation ...

OK, another search led me to a long conversation about this problem on the MacPorts list, which culminated in: Re: Insufficient privileges? <earachefl <at> comcast.net> 2011-04-19 01:36:29 GMT As the original poster, I must apologize... I was trying to run "$magick> sudo port install ImageMagick ...

As I suspected, that wasn't the end of the story. I did EXACTLY what was suggested on the IM website to install using my shiny new copy of MacPorts via Terminal, and I got: graham-samuels-macbook:~ Graham$ $magick> sudo port install ImageMagick Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts ...

Hold the front page! I found out via the MacPorts list (which I felt obliged to join) that when one installs Xcode on a Mac, one only installs an installer!!! That is, the first install just puts the Xcode installer into the Applications folder on the Mac. I'm now doing the REAL install and may ...

Hi - this is a follow-up to an attempt I made in April to install ImageMagick on my Mac. I never succeeded and went on to other things, but the requirement has come back and I am still clueless. I start from the position of being a long-term Mac user (and a Windows user for that matter) but never ...

I installed the most common binary, which is a .exe file (i.e nominally a Windows app). Whats this supposed to mean - most if not all windows files are .exe ones. Are you expecting a GUI as you do not get one and have to run it from the command prompt as Fred says. See this page: http://www ...

I thought I **had** installed MacPorts, and I tried to do exactly what I was told to do, with the IM binary not the source. But so far no luck. I will try again tomorrow. What I do know is that IM will not end up looking like an ordinary Mac app, but something much more like a Unix thingy with a ...

Thanks for the mail. I installed the most common binary, which is a .exe file (i.e nominally a Windows app). However after installation it doesn't seem to be a Windows app at all - at least I can't find it to start it, and the command-line start didn't work for me. I am profoundly ignorant of apps ...

I'm the guy who couldn't get IM started on a Mac (see earlier post) so I thought I'd try my luck on the PC. The installation seemed to go OK, and although I can open the IM display window, I can't start IM from the CMD screen or anywhere else. The system doesn't seem to know ImageMagick is there. I ...

Hi I'm a total newbie to ImageMagick and to any form of development apart from scripting IDEs. I can't get ImageMagick started on my Mac. I am running Snow Leopard and have all the extras downloaded. I'm trying to use the MacPorts route. I installed the package OK, and wanted to follow these ...
