Fontconfig Incompatibility

Post by djrs »

Hello, I'm having troubles installing ImageMagick on my Intel Mac. For simplicity I first tried: 'sudo port install ImageMagick'. However, after a successful install I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/bin//display
Reason: Incompatible library version: display requires version 4.0.0 or later, but libfontconfig.1.dylib provides version 2.0.0

Following the OS-X specific instructions on the Advanced Unix Source Installation page results in pretty much the same error. As far as I am aware, fontconfig is still at version 2.x, so I'm a little puzzled by this error...

Any help is greatly appreciated,

- David

The problem appears to be related to Mac Ports. Post to Mac Ports instead, you have a better chance of getting an answer to your questions.

Ok. It actually turns out that ImageMagick was linking to a rogue copy of the fontconfig library I had buried away rather than the one that MacPorts installed alongside ImageMagick! It all seems to be happily working now. :)
