Ahh, ok, that is something that needs to be addressed (and would have to be addressed no matter how you're getting your software, unless you luck out and there are binaries available, as there were for ImageMagick). As you figured out, you need the developer tools, or XCode, as 10.3 now calls them. If you are running the OS that came with your Mac, the installer may be in /Applications/Installers, but if you re-installed or upgraded then you'll probably have to look elsewhere. You may have a CD with the 1.0 or 1.1 version that came with your Mac or your copy of OSX. If so, that's the fastest approach, since if you have to download it the file is hundreds of megabytes. That version would do for your purposes, but if you want to get up to date, there should be a download for 1.5 that doesn't require you to upgrade from an older one, so that would be the faster option in that case. Note also that if you're still running 10.2/Jaguar, I'm not sure if you can use XCode. As far as I know, XCode is only for 10.3/Panther. Once XCode / devtools are installed, you should end up with a copy of GCC and related tools in /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/make, etc. Once you've got all that, then go back and try building perlmagick-581 with Fink. This time around, it should work just fine. Let us know if you have any problems :-) -- Chris Devers
