It *is* installed with MacTeX.
If you can, you might want to wait a week or so (it should be out
"real soon
now") to download MacTeX based on texlive 2008; installing that will
give
you a new installation of ImageMagick. Alternatively, you could use
MacTeX
2007 to do it again.
But these are big downloads, and I'm not even sure if this will
solve the

Pierfranco,
I have had problems with ImageMagick, too, they disappeared after
installing the newest version.
I can really recommend MacPorts for this type of software
installations. There are good chances that you already have installed
MacPorts on your box. If not, it is anyway a good idea to get it. Most
OpenSource programs and tools are provided as a MacPorts package for
OSX; installing and especially upgrading such software via MacPorts
is very convenient.
So open a terminal window and type the following commands:
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install ImageMagick
This may take a while. If "sudo" moans that "port" can not be found,
you have to install MacPorts first. AFAIK you can find it on the
second DVD that comes with Leopard. Otherwise look at http://www.macports.org
