Compiling Imagemagick on MacOS X - Not Finding Libjpeg

I ran into an issue trying to get Imagemagick (convert) working on OSX last night. I had compiled libjpeg and installed it, but when I would compile convert, it would not have jpeg support.

I found this post on dzone, which I followed and was able to use libjpeg just fine.

tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz cd jpeg-6b cp /usr/share/libtool/config.sub . cp /usr/share/libtool/config.guess . ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static make sudo make install sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a

I’m pretty sure I didn’t do the last step (sudo ranlib), and it worked fine.
