Incompatible library using convert

Post by RobLewis »

I just ran the latest OS X installer on a Leopard system.

I'm trying to run a MatLab program that calls a shell script, which uses convert to process an image. Here's the error message I'm getting:

Cropping image...dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/convert
Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 12.0.0 or later, but libtiff.3.dylib provides version 11.0.0

What's going on here?

Also: a couple of developers have told me that ImageMagick is installed by default in OS X, and it's located in /usr/local/bin/. I have a box-stock, plain-vanilla Leopard installation (including developer tools) and I couldn't find ImageMagick on my system (until I installed it). I don't even have a /usr/local/bin/ directory on my system! The installer put ImageMagick in /opt/local/bin/.

Is there something wrong with my OS installation??
