Again, the .la files are generated during the make process. The .la file is not "missing" from the source. Copying them from /usr/local/ lib from a previous version of imagemagick is not the right thing to do.

If the .la file is not getting generated in make, and you get an error later about it missing, something didn't work right in make. Look thru the output in the Terminal window to see if there were any other errors before it stopped with the missing .la error, there may be errors that didn't cause make to halt

FWIW, I havne't had any problems like this ever in ImageMagick on OS X, including 6.2.7-6 on OS X 10.4.6, Xcode 2.2.1. I haven't tried the newest IM yet, or with Xcode 2.3. Taking a breather after my last big package/installer update.

Sorry folks, but the latest release of the IM for Mac still does not include all the source files for magick/libMagick.la and the older copy of this library I have will not work flawlessly with this distribution. I've tried over 8 different configure options to no avail. Please include ALL the subroutines for this library in subsequent releases!

In the last run, I used ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -- enable-shared --disable-static

After copying libMagick.la from /usr/local/lib to / ImageMagick-6.2.7/magick. This time, instead of having the make complain about about a hundred missing symbols in libMagick.la, instead it complained about missing symbols _AdaptiveSharpenImageChannel and _PaintOpaqueImageChannel in libWand.la

Kindly fix this. It shouldn't be so difficult to include the proper subroutines in the proper places! It consumes well over an hour of realtime to accomplish the make, time that is utterly wasted dealing with compilation errors such as these. BTW, my copies of these libraries were made from IM 6.1.8.
