[Xastir] OS X - ImageMagick install problems

[Jon Ogden]

OK for you OS X/Unix gurus:

I've been trying to get Xastir fully up and running but with limited 
success.  I've followed the steps on N1OFZ's website to get Xastir up 
and running.  The problem is with ImageMagick.  I've not been able to 
fully install it so I can't get Xastir fully operational.

1.) If I try to install ImageMagick from Fink, all I get are the 
libraries.  None of the ImageMagick executables are installed.  Maybe I 
am doing something wrong, but I've tried everything that I can think 
of.  In addition, the version of ImageMagick that Fink uses is old.

2.) I tried downloading and installing ImageMagick from the ImageMagick 
website.  I managed to get it compiled and up and running, but I cannot 
get JPEG, TIFF and PNG files working.  It either doesn't recognize 
those image libraries (installed with Fink).  I know this because when 
I do a ./configure when compiling ImageMagick it tells me it is 
compiling w/o JPEG support.  I did try to download and install the JPEG 
libraries of the ImageMagick site, but I had no luck getting those to 
work right with the software either.

So I am stuck.

Obviously getting Fink to work would be the best.  I am annoyed that in 
order to submit a bug report on the program I have to create a 
sourceforge account (yet ANOTHER account on the web that I don't need). 
  And I think ImageMagick support is nothing more than a web based 
newsgroup and from what I've seen the help there is somewhat cryptic 
and not easy to follow.  So I am asking here.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jon
