Mis-built Mac OS X 10.7 binaries

[ewmailing]

I tried downloading the binaries for ImageMagick for Lion. It looks like they are mis-built. The command line tools I tried (e.g. convert, montage) are linked to dylibs in /opt/local/lib which is not a standard Apple directory.

In addition, I think the version you linked to is different than the standard version. I think the OS is trying to fallback to /usr/lib, but the Apple version is lower than what you expect.

Sample Error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/foo/Downloads/bin/montage
Reason: Incompatible library version: montage requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libltdl.7.dylib provides version 10.0.0
Trace/BPT trap: 5


Here is the output of otool -L convert which clearly shows the bad /opt/local/lib directory dependencies.

otool -L convert

Did you install from MacPorts? It puts things in /opt/local/lib

No, I downloaded the prebuilt binaries. I didn't install from Macports. I thought that was the point of downloading prebuilt binaries.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Just checking to be sure I did not misunderstand. I guess you will need to wait for a reply from the IM developers.

We will release a new Mac OS X distribution within a day or two that includes libltdl or is built statically. Thanks,

No problem. I just re-read my response. It looks a little snarky in hindsight. My apologies. It wasn't my intent.
