Yeah, this is what mucked me around before (see my post below on how
I got around it, eventually).

One possibility is to rebuild your location database, do a locate
Magick and then just delete everything in your installed directories
that match and start again (worked for me anyway). You might want to
ask fink to uninstall it first and then just use the above technique
to get rid of any stragglers.
Fun fun fun,
Peter.

Subject: Getting ImageMagick/PerlMagick to work
Hi all,
I finally got ImageMagick to install and work for me, perhaps this
will help someone else...
I think pert of the problem might be that I have perl 5.6.1 installed.
Anyway, I eventually got it to install by using fink, but then it
failed because it wanted _ParseGeometry, which I think is some sort
of X windows thing, so I rebuilt it using:
fink fetch imagemagic
edit
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/imagemagick-5.4.1-3.patch
and add a line to disable X windows support (add the line with_x=no,
and change the 27 to 28 on the first line of the patch hunk).

After that just continue with the install
fink build imagemagic
fink install imagemagic
(you might have to do the build/install first to generate the patch
file in the first place, I don't know where it came from).
Also, I found that "new Image::Magick" didn't work, but
Image::Magick->new does. This code now works for me:
use Image::Magick;
$image=Image::Magick->new;
$x = $image->Read( filename=>'/Users/peter/unix/game-org.jpg' );
warn "$x" if "$x";
$x = $image->Resize( geometry=>'640x480' );
warn "$x" if "$x";
$x = $image->Write( filename=>'/Users/peter/unix/game-out2.jpg', quality=>75 );
warn "$x" if "$x";
$x = $image->Resize( geometry=>'64x48' );
warn "$x" if "$x";
$x = $image->Write( filename=>'/Users/peter/unix/game-out2.gif' );
warn "$x" if "$x";
@$image = ();
Which is pretty cool if you want to generate web images or thumbs
from large originals for example...
Hope this is useful. Won't it be nice in a year or so when all this
stuff just works out of the box!
Peter.
