Ok, I installed fink, no problems.

I used $ sudo apt-get install imagemagick and installed imagemagick - no problems.

I then used $ sudo apt-get install perlmagick-pm581 and got an error, "couldn't find package perlmagick-pm581", so I'm guessing that is didn't install because fink couldn't find anything to install.

I checked on cpan and found PerlMagick 6.02, which requires ImageMagick 6.0.0 or above for PerlMagick 6.02 to work correctly. I checked the PerlMagick.org site and found that PerlMagic 6.0.6 is the latest version. When I looked through the install process in the Terminal, I noticed that it was version 5.5.1.

So I'm a little at a loss. Do I need to update the installation of ImageMagick to 6.0.6 then install PerlMagick 6.02 after that? If so how do I update ImageMagick? Also, do all the libraries that were installed with fink need to be updated? After I update ImageMagick (however you do that) can I simply use the following to install PerlMagick 6.02?

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Image::Magick'

As of now I'll wait for your advice, as I think this is a good place to slow down.

Thanks,

Mark
