Problem with ImageMagick via MAMP Pro, MacPorts & OSX Lion

[pylon]

I've had MAMP Pro 2.0.5 on Mac OSX Lion working OK with ImageMagick for a while but I'm now getting errors when harnessing ImageMagick for image processing - about certain applications not working because the 'PowerPC application can't be used':

"You can't open the application convert because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

This iMac running Lion was migrated from a PowerPC machine. I'm trying to bring everything up to date and following a setup guide for MAMP/ImageMagick with Lion at http://thoomtech.com/post/8832473042/ma ... agick-lion

So I've downloaded latest Xcode 4.3.3, installed the Command Line Toold, downloaded and installed MacPorts for Lion and then when I try to install ImageMagick from Terminal I get this:

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot install ImageMagick for the arch(s) 'x86_64' because
Error: its dependency xorg-libXext is only installed for the arch 'ppc'
Error: and the configured universal_archs 'i386 ppc' are not sufficient.
Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch

It looks like some legacy from a PowerPC app install is confusing things. Any ideas on how to get things going again? How would I uninstall older versions of MacPorts or ImageMagick?

I got to the bottom of it after finding and reading this: http://apple.stackexchange.com/question ... e-problems

And then I had to follow this: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration

and instead of step 4 I just installed latest ImageMagick with "sudo port install ImageMagick" as that was the only port i've ever used.

Well done me
