Installing Imagemagick with Hombrew ( libtiff fix ) UPDATED

UPDATE Jan 24 2012 – RESOLVED

I got ImageMagick Installed with nothing more than brew install imagemagick, big thanks to the community behind Homebrew dont forget to pay them a visit on IRC freenode #machomebrew

When i updated to Lion i found out that most of my libraries where gone, including the much needed ImageMagick, i couldn’t install it with MacPorts for some odd reason so i installed it by source, huge mistake, one of my apps stopped working.

Today i tried installing with Homebrew, but i got stuck trying to install libtiff, if you ever run into this problem, just try this

By doing a quick Google Search i found out that you can download the file on your Hombrew Cache folder like user mikel notes here https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/5168#issuecomment-2047059

UPDATE:

After installing ImageMagick i found that i could not run identify or convert, the error was

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/convert
Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libltdl.7.dylib provides version 10.0.0
Trace/BPT trap: 5

After googling a little i found this bug https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/6891 it’s for OS X and Lion, i had to remove little-cms and imagemagick then install again just imagemagick

brew remove little-cms –force
brew remove imagemagick
brew install imagemagick

Turns out that doesn’t cut it either, i followed this post with a question on Stack Overflow I’ll try to install from source again.
