 compiled from the package installed (OSX 10.7.5) with no obvious errors,
 but then i tried 2 ports both gave same error message that i pasted in the
 previous email.  These were for ImageMagick and when that didnt work i
 tried Pallet. [[br]]

 imagemagick work on this machine if there is a conflict with installing
 macports somewhere else.  Ive tried installing imagemagick from source,
 and that seems to be a chore.  So far no luck, but i cant say these things
 are my strong point. [[br]]

 Pallet is known to not work well right now, there are many open tickets.
 ImageMagick should work however. Did MacPorts print the location of a
 main.log file? If so please attach it to this ticket. If not, what is the
 exact command you ran? i.e. did you run "sudo port install ImageMagick"? I
 see one prior report of this error message in #27581 but the only
 resolution mentioned there was to reinstall MacPorts.
