Building PerlMagick on Mac OS X

[prwood]

Greetings,

I am trying to build and install ImageMagick on Mac OS X 10.2.6 (Client). I have the December ’02 dev tools installed, as well as the recent gcc 3.3 update, and I obtained the ImageMagick tarball directly from the http://ftp.imagemagick.org server.

The build seems to go fine for the most part, but when I get to the portion that tries to install the PerlMagick component (the Image::Magick perl module), it bails out:

( rm -f PerlMagick/PerlMagick ; cd PerlMagick && make CC='gcc' PerlMagick )
rm -rf blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.a
/usr/bin/ar cr blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.a Magick.o && /usr/bin/ar ts blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.a
Magick.o
chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.a
Writing "Makefile.aperl" for this PerlMagick
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ljpeg
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lpng
Warning: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.a not found
    If you're going to build a static perl binary, make sure perl is installed
    otherwise ignore this warning

    -DVERSION=\"5.5.8\" \
-DXS_VERSION=\"5.5.8\"   -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE perlmain.c
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.a', needed by `PerlMagick'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [PerlMagick] Error 2
make[1]: *** [PerlMagick/PerlMagick] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I have searched the macosx@perl.org mailing list and several people have discussed this and other related errors… some folks seem to have found ways around it, but there are no good step-by-step instructions for getting it to work. The discussions I found were dated in 2002, and I haven’t seen any discussion of the problem since then. However, even in the latest ImageMagick package, this problem still exists…

So I am wondering if anyone here has had success building the PerlMagick portion of ImageMagick on Mac OS X, and what steps you took to make it work?

p.s.

If I cd into the PerlMagick directly and try to build it on the spot, it fails all of the tests. I included one failure message below, as well as the summary of the tests, but this is representative of all of the test failures.
