Hi,

I'm following Rob Canning's instructions for building pdp_pidip on osx2.8; http://www.robcanning.utvinternet.com/pidip-install-osx.html#installlibs but ran into the following problem when i try to install the Imagemagick.

[before installing ImageMagick i edited the .info file with --enable shared]

ibtool: install: warning: relinking `libMagick++.la'

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lstdc++. *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting *** with libstdc++ and none of the candidates passed a file format test *** using a file magic. Last file checked: /usr/lib//gcc/darwin/default/libstdc++.a

I think there's something wrong with the way the libs are linked. [or unable to link] and i found the following lines in the FAQ of gcc:

Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries

This problem manifests itself by programs not finding shared libraries they depend on when the programs are started. Note this problem often manifests itself with failures in the libio/libstdc++ tests after configuring with |--enable-shared| and building GCC

[http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#rpath]

As a reaction on the Finklist i got the following answer:

As you've discovered, ImageMagick has trouble building shared libraries on Darwin/OS X. That's exactly why the package maintainer did *not* choose to include the --enable-shared flag in the .info file.

But; does anyone know how I can work around this problem?
