And finally, I guess, this is basically all I want to use the ImageMagick for: Image resizing. Image compression - jpg Finding image DPI Finding image size Clean up image (sharpen, etc.) Well, other than sharpen, you can actually do all that in Image Events which comes with Mac OS X (10.3?).

% sudo fink -y install imagemagick % sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Image::Magick' This gets you 90% of the way there, at least. I installed Fink after unsuccessfully trying to install Image::Magick using CPAN a couple of days ago. Fink is installing imagemagick as I write this. I was

Sorry if I am prematurely coming to the list. That's the last thing I want to do. I'm learning as I go. And... I just learned some more. When I tried to install perlmagick, it gave me an error, could not find cc or gcc. I did a little looking around and it seems that it can't find a compiler.
