<div dir="ltr">Hi everybody,<br><br>following the debate about MacTex 2008 and ImageMagick I point out to a current problem with the installation (or the updating) of ImageMagick through Gerben Wierda's i-Installer. If you click on Install a message appears saying: Remote package unavailable. The remote package is currently being updated. Please try again later.<br>
The same happened one month ago, I don't know what happened before. So the question is: when is ImageMagick planned to be available again through Gerben Wierda's i-Installer?<br>Pierfranco<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
Given that I use other parts of ImageMagick besides 'convert' and that MacTeX 2008 (and, presumably 2009 going foward) don't include those pieces, I've decided to install ImageMagick via MacPorts. This is all well and good, MacTex need not install every useful but not TeX related piece of software.<br>
<br>
When I do install MacTeX 2008 in a few days time it will not, as Dr. Koch pointed out, replace the existing (MacTeX 2007) installation of ImageMagick (or will it?). Rather it will (I think) simply replace 'convert' with the statically linked binary referred to in the release notes.<br>
<br>
My question therefore is how do I uninstall the MacTeX 2007 ImageMagick so that it won't conflict with my soon-to-be-installed MacPorts copy. Normally, I'm able to figure out how to uninstall stuff but ImageMagick with its many bits and pieces spread out over many directories seems to a bit of a mystery.<br>
<br>
Uninstallation of unix software on my Mac has always perplexed me. General guidance in that regard would also be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

The version of ImageMagick installed by MacTeX 2007 is the same as that installed by Gerben Wierda's i-Installer. He updated the i-Installer version of ImageMagick so the easiest the easiest way to update is simply to use i-Installer to install over the older version. If you want to remove the older version use i-Installer to remove the older version.<br>
<br>
Good Luck,<br>
