Thanks you everyone for being so patient and providing suggestions that after time lead me to the answer.
It seems all my ports/libs in macports were well... ferbunked. I tried to run a port upgrade outdated and it had so many errors. I slowly went through them activating, deactivating, re-installing one by one. Cleaning dependencies etc until I could run the upgrade. Then re-ran the ImageMagick install and it went off without a hitch. So it seems the first (4-5) times I installed it, despite the fact it never errored it did not in-fact install. I corrected way to many items to list the full process here but I'll try and sum it up real quick. My major references for the fixes were: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18835 http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2009-January/007093.html The common error I was getting: Error: The following dependencies failed to build: {port here} Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output. as well as: Configuring xorg-libX11 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_xorg- libX11/work/libX11-1.3.2" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --without- xcb " returned error 1 Command output: sh: line 0: cd: /opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_xorg- libX11/work/libX11-1.3.2: No such file or directory To start the fix: sudo port selfupdate //Just to do it again sudo port upgrade outdated Wait until it errors on a certain library. sudo port deactivate {LIBRARY NAME} sudo port clean {LIBRARY NAME} Then re-run: sudo port upgrade outdated // See if it causes more errors, repeat fix accordingly. The most troublesome library was: Activating xorg-renderproto @0.11_0 Error: Unable to execute port: Image error: /opt/local/include/X11/ extensions/render.h is being used by the active render port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate xorg-renderproto' to force the activation. Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output. As the suggested fix in the error will not fix appropriately. I had to run: sudo port deactivate render sudo port install xorg-renderproto sudo port upgrade outdated Eventually all the libraries were straightened out. And I could re- install ImageMagick: sudo port install ImageMagick And Everything went off without a hitch from there. Paperclip seems to be working as desired. Thanks again for everyone's help, patience and suggestions! And I hope some day down the road this helps someone else out there. -brianp On Jan 9, 11:46 pm, Conrad Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 9:09 PM, pharrington <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Jan 9, 11:10 pm, brianp <[email protected]> wrote: > > > whiteone:~ brianp$ port -v > > > MacPorts 1.8.2 > > > > I did "sudo port selfupdate" > > > I don't believe i "sudo port sync" > > > > I did not upgrade to snow leopard (because it blew up my server) > > > I'm running on Mac os 10.5.8 > > > > On Jan 9, 7:23 pm, Conrad Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 5:09 PM, brianp <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > So i tried: > > > > > export MAGICK_HOME="/opt/local/" > > > > > export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH" > > > > > export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib" > > > > > The above environment variables are not needed and you're just making > > > > matters worse if you're using MacPorts.
