ImageMagick on Mac OS X

Wanting to do some image manipulation I realized my Linux scripts don’t run under Mac OS X, as ImageMagick is not installed via my MacPorts.

However installation failed:

$ sudo port install imagemagick
--->  Computing dependencies for ImageMagick
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xorg-libX11
Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for libX11-1.3.3.tar.bz2
Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for libX11-1.3.3.tar.bz2
Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for libX11-1.3.3.tar.bz2
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: xorg-libXext xorg-libX11 xorg-libXt xorg-libsm xorg-libice
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

Figuring that some of my packages may require upgrade:

$ sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -d upgrade outdated

The problem is this all failed. Turning to the FAQ it seemed what I needed to do was remove and re-install the offending package receiving the checksum error via the following syntax.

$ sudo port clean --all 
$ sudo port install 

It seemed I had to do this for several packages manually however in the end removing and installing a number of packages addressed the problem and now ImageMagick is happily running on Mac OS X
