I just upgraded from IM 6.3.6.4 to 6.3.6.10. (IM jumped rather quickly from 4 to 10)

But I am getting errors when I try to run it.

convert -list configure
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libXext.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/fred/Applications/ImageMagick-6.3.6/bin/convert
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Is this version not compatible with Mac OS 10.4.x? If this is the case, how do I get a version of IM 6.3.6.10 that is compatible with Mac OS 10.4.x?

I have not done anything different in the install of this release than I have in the past. As for all 6.3.6 releases, I have just decompressed the tar archive and swapped the folders, then rebooted. This has worked fine in the past.

Is there something different that I need to do in the configuration of my .profile file?

Here is my .profile file


##
# DELUXE-USR-LOCAL-BIN-INSERT
# (do not remove this comment)
##
echo $PATH | grep -q -s "/usr/local/bin"
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
fi
export MAGICK_HOME="/Users/fred/Applications/ImageMagick-6.3.6"
export PATH="${PATH}:$MAGICK_HOME/bin"
export PATH="${PATH}:/Users/fred/Applications/ImageMagick-Scripts/bin"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$MAGICK_HOME/lib"
export DISPLAY=:0

Thanks

Its possible the latest ImageMagick was built under Leopard. We recommend you download/install ImageMagick from MacPorts which will build ImageMagick from source on your system ensuring compatibility.

Any possibility that you can post builds under Tiger for OS 10.4.x users and another under Leopard for OS 10.5.x users. Most Mac users have not yet upgraded to Leopard.

Also I am not that adept at installing and compiling and have not used MacPorts, but know that it wants to install it in its own directory and not where I want to have IM installed.

Thanks for your consideration.
