Illegal Instruction: 4

[tashirley]

I'm trying to use imagemagick to create pngs from a latex file. I installed ImageMagick 6.7.3-2 using the installer from cactus lab (I'm running Lion). When I use the commands to test whether imagemagick is working properly, as suggested on the install page, the convert command works properly, but when I try to identify or display the created gif I get the error "Illegal instruction: 4". Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a newcomer to using terminal, so apologies if this is a simple fix.

I know nothing about Lion, cactus or latex, but that IM version is ancient. I suggest you install a more recent version.

Okay, well I started over, made sure I had macports and xcode installed. I made sure to selfupdate macports and updated outdated. I used the uninstall command to get rid of whatever version of imagemagick I had, and tried to install the newest version with macports, but I get the error

Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/Portfile

Any advice?
