Difficulties installing PHP iMagick with MacPorts ImageMagick installation

[Elise van Looij]

I've installed php5 @5.2.5 and ImageMagick @6.3.9 with MacPorts 1.6 on  
Leopard. I then wanted to install the PHP wrapper for ImageMagick,  
namely iMagick. Since iMagick is not a port, I decided to follow  
recommendations and use

 > pecl install imagick

or rather, to avoid any confusion

 > sudo /opt/local/bin/pecl install imagick

The installation begin but always ends in the following error:

   checking ImageMagick MagickWand API configuration program...  
configure: error: not found. Please provide a path to MagickWand- 
config or Wand-config program.

After a lot of frutiless googling, I figured that the paths were the  
problem, I decided on a different approach and adapted the install  
instructions from the iMagic package to account for the MacPorts  
paths, thus:

 > cd /Users/elisevanlooij/Downloads/imagick-2.1.1/imagick-2.1.1
 > sudo /opt/local/bin/phpize && ./configure --with-imagick=/opt/local  
&& make && make install

This resulted in the hope-giving message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
    /Users/elisevanlooij/Downloads/imagick-2.1.1/imagick-2.1.1/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
    - add LIBDIR to the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
      during execution

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.

Installing shared extensions:     /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non- 
zts-20060613/
cp: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/#INST at 10132#:  
Permission denied
make: *** [install-modules] Error 1


So now I'm stymied. There is indeed a document named imagick.so, but  
it's in my download folder

/Users/elisevanlooij/Downloads/imagick-2.1.1/imagick-2.1.1/modules/ 
imagick.so

which I don't think is a good location, Should I move  imagick.so and  
if so, where and how? The PHP extension_dir is set to ./
Any help would be appreciated.
