If you are on 10.8 or earlier, maybe there is a problem specific to older OS versions that we need to investigate. The only reason why you should have /opt/local/lib/libheif.la if you're on 10.9 or later is if you edited macports.conf and set "delete_la_files no".

Hmm... I tried this:
macbook-pro:Pictures uli$ ar -t 
/opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.11/modules-Q16/coders/heic.la
ar: /opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.11/modules-Q16/coders/heic.la: 
Inappropriate file type or format

Did I do it wrong? it's a long time since I wrote programs...

macbook-pro:Pictures uli$ otool -L 
/opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.11/modules-Q16/coders/heic.so

And I am on OS X 10.6.8 on this machine; forgot to say that upfront.

So maybe I have to go back to the .la library & see what is wrong there.
