Most things went very easily, however ImageMagick doesn't seem to have a binary for Intel Macs just yet. I decided to try and install it from source. It was actually very easy to do. So if you don't feel like installing Darwin Ports/Fink just to get ImageMagick read on.<br /><br />If you're not comfortable dealing with the Terminal/shell access then you may want to wait for the binary release, or go the Darwin Ports/Fink route.<br /><br />Ideally you should have followed the Rails installation tutorial at <a href="http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger">Hivelogic</a>.<br /><br />Basically you need to have your path setup to look in /usr/local/bin for binaries. If you need help doing that, have a look at the aforementioned article.<br /><br />Start up Terminal(usually located in the /Applications folder).<br /><br />At the prompt enter:<br /><pre><br />mkdir src<br />cd src<br /></pre><br /><br />Now we're ready to get and install the required software.<br /><br /><b>Note: the order here is important.</b><br /><h3>PNG</h3><br />This supports PNG files. If you don't need support you can safely skip it.<br /><pre><br />curl -O ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.2.8-config.tar.gz<br />tar zxvf libpng-1.2.8-config.tar.gz<br />cd libpng-1.2.8-config<br />./configure --prefix=/usr/local<br />make<br />sudo make install<br /></pre><br /><i>Notes:</i><br /><ul><br /><li>simplesystems ftp site seems a bit moody. You can also get the library from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5624">SourceForge</a>.<br /><li>PNG 1.2.10, the latest version seems to have build problems on Mac OS X, try getting 1.2.8 from sourceforge.<br /></ul><br /><h3>JPEG</h3><br />Pretty much everyone needs this. Unfortunately it's the most troublesome to compile and <br />install correctly. Follow the directions carefully. Note: The single quotes in the fourth line <br />are backquotes, not regular quotes. (see the tilda key)<br /><pre><br />curl -O http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz<br />tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz<br />cd jpeg-6b<br />ln -s `which glibtool` ./libtool<br />export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4<br />./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local<br />make<br />sudo make install<br /></pre><br /><h3>TIFF</h3><br />Everyone needs this as well.<br /><pre><br />curl -O ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz<br />tar zxvf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz<br />cd tiff-3.8.2<br />./configure --prefix=/usr/local<br />make<br />sudo make install<br /></pre><br /><h3>ImageMagick</h3><br />The big tamale! The [VERSION] tag below denotes the version of ImageMagick you actually got. ImageMagick.tar.gz is a link to the latest version of ImageMagick, so the version will change as they do new releases. <br /><pre><br />curl -O ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz<br />tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz<br />cd ImageMagick-[VERSION]<br />./configure --without-perl<br />make<br />sudo make install<br /></pre><br /><i>Updated to use the latest version via the linked file.</i><br /><h3>RMagick</h3><br />One more step, add the ruby bindings to ImageMagick. You may get some errors during the Rdoc <br />install phase, you can safely ignore them.<br /><pre><br />sudo gem install rmagick<br /></pre><br /><br />Woot! You're done. Have a beverage, and get down to work.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24562432-114306701554074475?l=lfthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Will Groppehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13343259743030304381noreply@blogger.com38
