Peter, Thanks for the reply. When I ran ./configure and make from within the ImageMagick directory the make process tried to make PerlMagick as well. The README, in regard to MAP_TARGET, says: To create and install a new 'perl' executable (replacing your existing PERL interpreter!) with PerlMagick statically linked (but other libraries linked statically or dynamically according to system linker default), execute perl Makefile.PL make perl make -f Makefile.aperl inst_perl or to create and install a new PERL interpreter with a different name than 'perl' (e.g. 'PerlMagick') and with PerlMagick statically linked perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=PerlMagick make PerlMagick make -f Makefile.aperl inst_perl This worries me a bit because I get the impression that it'll replace the perl exectutable with PerlMagick. After failing the make process I ran make clean, and added -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/ to the LIB line in Makefile.PL. In accordance to the README; To create and install the dymamically-loaded version of PerlMagick (the preferred way), execute perl Makefile.PL make make install I am still having difficulties with graphic libraries, but for now, I'm going to take it one hurdle at a time.
