That’s good to know. I will ask IT. Thanks. --- Steve From: Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 1:26 AM To: Langer, Stephen A. (Fed) <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: tex, imagemagick, and pstoedit
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Steve, there is an ImageMagick-6 update pending, including security fixes. Will this satisfy your IT security department? If so, this would defer the need to solve the ImageMagick-7 link issue. https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29326#issuecomment-3956540188 On Fri, Feb 20, 2026 at 11:31 AM Langer, Stephen A.

ImageMagick 7 is ok. The problem is that texlive indirectly depends on pstoedit and pstoedit depends on ImageMagic. As an experiment, I changed “ImageMagick” to “ImageMagick7” in the pstoedit Portfile. The modified pstoedit port builds successfully and LaTeX appears to run, but I have no faith that the change is safe. Is there a way to test that pstoedit and texlive are actually working correctly? Is there a better way of avoiding the ImageMagick issue? I can submit a patched Portfile for pstoedit that adds variants for selecting the ImageMagick version, but I’m reluctant to do that without knowing that the changes are correct. Thanks. --- Steve
