[Xastir] OS X - ImageMagick install problems

[Jason Winningham]

Sorry I can't find my notes on the packages that gave me trouble and 
what I did to work around it.  I tried fink which didn't give me 
everything I needed, tried darwinports which also failed (and hid the 
errors from me so that I couldn't even see what was wrong).  I gave up 
and built everything from source just like I would on my Solaris 
systems.  I think shapelib was the only thing that gave me real 
trouble, and I just used N1OFZ's instructions at 
http://n1ofz.connares.org/software/Xastir for shapelib, substituting 
"/usr/local" for "/sw".

Since you had already tried fink was it using fink's copy of IM or the 
one you put in /usr/local?  This is a guess, but you may want to try 
running xastir's configure with --with-imagemagick=/usr/local to force 
it to use the /usr/local copy instead of the /sw copy.
