![]() Tiff has problems in Leopard, especially on a PowerPC under Leopard, but I digress. Quick note about libTIFF, which I recommend using the new beta. Here are more complete instructions with install script, not as beautifully laid out and adjusted as Bach's pastie: Download from supplier, compile from source, with exactly what you need, not additionally "recommended" add-ons - even taking "variants" into account. MacPorts, as fantastic as it is with its somewhat confusing dependancies, creates an additional layer of FUBAR when things go really wrong.Īnd, *Nix people like it simple, as contradictory as it sounds. I am dealing with installs on private linux servers, and I rather take the direct step in making things work. a lot of that included the massive ghostscript documentation if I remember correctly. I found multpiple installs for ghostscript, for example. The Problem I've been having is a small install base for MacPorts. MacPorts may be easy to use, but it is not bleeding-edge current with its releases. You'll find the shell commands on this page just copy and paste to use.Īfterwards, sudo gem install rmagick works like a charm for me. Please notice that Mac OS X 10.5.4 (or higher), XCode 3.1 (or higher), and X11 is required. I created a set of commands that you can copy-and-paste into a shell script, which should install ImageMagick flawlessly on your Mac. I also wanted to keep the install as small as possible, and therefore I decided against installing the whole ghostscript package (but you may do so if you like). ![]() ![]() Especially the interdependencies of libjpeg and ghostscript are insane. If you've ever tried to install ImageMagick without Fink or MacPorts, you'll have a quite good chance to go completely nuts. I needed ImageMagick - especially as a Ruby GEM - so I had to somehow get gem install rmagick working, as it didn't work out of the box: Leopard doesn't ship with ImageMagick.
