I'm trying to install ImageMagick by using MacPorts. I've successfully installed MacPorts by using their Mountain Lion .pkg file.
I open the terminal and run:
sudo port install ImageMagick
However what I get is:
Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/Portfile
Although the error message doesnt contain "permission denied", I tried setting Portfile
and its first parent folder to 777
. And this obviously didn't solve my problem.
I have the latest Xcode installed.
