Installing PythonMagick on OS X
brew install boost
- will take a lot of time and make your Mac hotbrew install --with-magick-plus-plus imagemagick
cd <path_to_PythonMagick_source>
./configure --with-boost=<path_to_boost_root>
make
make install
python -c "import PythonMagick"
If PythonMagick build fails saying that it couldn't find -lboost_python
navigate to <path_to_boost_root>/lib/
, ln -s libboost_python-mt.dylib libboost_python.dylib
and run make again.
Tested on 10.6.8 with Python 2.6.7 (custom build). Should work with Lion running stock 2.7.
NOTE: Looks like I was too quick to call it done. The module imports but raises exceptions when used. Bummer.
I solved this problem by copying from where make install installed PythonMagick /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PythonMagick to where Python actually looks on a OS X Lion, /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
