I would like to install  gnumeric, GDL, GIMP, and ImageMagick

I should point out that installing gimp with MacPorts is an enormous endeavor, with almost 200 dependencies. This will take a lot of time to build, and I don't know if every one of these ports is in working order at this point in time. There is a standalone gimp binary for Mac OS X you can download which would probably be a lot simpler and less error-prone.

This is the X11 version only however. If you want an X11-free version, you will need to use MacPorts and variants.

gimp2 @2.6.8_0+darwin_9+no_x11+quartz (active)

I think the patches that used to be necessary to achieve this have both been committed, but I'm not positive about that.

I am the maintainer of ImageMagick in MacPorts, I keep it up to date, I use it, it works great as far as I can tell. I can totally recommend using MacPorts to install ImageMagick. It has only 40 dependencies.


I haven't tried gnumeric or gdl. Gnumeric has about 140 dependencies and gdl has about 100.


There is of course overlap between these; many of the 40 dependencies you install to get ImageMagick are the same ones you need for gimp2 for example.
