I installed MacPorts and executed the suggested command in terminal to install ImageMagick.  The resulting install lasted approximately 6 hours and as far as I could tell installed successfully.  I added extension=imagick.so to  php.ini but after restarting Apache ImageMagick is not found in phpinfo and I can't locate the imagick.so file anywhere on my Mac.  Is there some novice mistake I'm making or is there a problem with the MacPorts install?

Also, remove "extension=imagick.so" from your php.ini again. All the php extension ports set these extension directives automatically in their own ini files; it's all automatic.
