Hello, I'm new to this list, not familiar with customs and habits, here. Hope you don't mind me asking about a subject that certainly has been discussed before. I have searched the archives without any useful results.
I have downloaded the binaries of IM 6.4.1 for Mac OS X a few days ago. I have to use these binaries from the command line, using the OSX terminal rather than X11. As far as I understand from the docs, X11 is only necessary if one wants to use a GUI, which I don't want to. Here <http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#macosx> is clearly says: "Note, the display program requires the X11 server available on your Mac OS X installation DVD", which means everything else can be used from the regular command line, without X11. The same website contains instructions to set a number of environment variables. These variables can't be set in the OSX terminal. I can use the export command to set a variable, but this variable only works in the current process/shell. It won't work if I use the same variable in a different shell process. Are the instructions wrong? What do I do to make OSX find IM? What is the right way to install the binaries about installing them? So far, the binaries are just sitting on my hard disk. I can execute the convert command with the following result: $ ./convert ~/desktop/picture.gif dyld: Library not loaded: /ImageMagick-6.4.1/lib/libMagickCore.1.dylib Referenced from: /Users/Mark/Desktop/ImageMagick-6.4.1/bin/./convert Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap Apparently, the convert utility can run, but not complete its task. libMagickCore.1.dylib exists and so does picture.gif. Thanks for any pointers, advice, or references to good docs. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.
