Problems Installing Image::Magick

I am pretty sure my problem is that I am not following the instructions
in the README properly where it states:

======
Next, edit Makefile.PL and change LIBS and INC to include the
appropriate
path information to the required libMagick library. You will also need
library search paths (-L) to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc. libraries if they
were
included with your installed version of ImageMagick
------

unfortunately, not really needing to have any knowledge of Perl beyond
the need to install a few modules (needed by Bugzilla), getting
Image::Magick installed is harder then it probably should be. Any help
would be appreciated.

I am using DarwinPorts (MacPorts) under MacOSX 10.4.x to install the
libraries for ImageMagick, lcms, tiff, freetype, jpeg & fontconfig.

I am not sure what to do about Xext, SM, ICE, X11, Xt...although, I do
have Apple's X11 app installed and I am assuming that -lX11 is
referring to a library found over there.

The DarwinPorts libraries should be found in /opt/local/lib and the
includes should be found in /opt/local/include

In my first (failed) attempt, I changed the following lines in
Makefile.PL:

# Header search specfication and preprocessor flags
'INC' => '-I../ -I.. -I/opt/local/include
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libxml2',

# Linker flags for building an executable
'LDFLAGS' => "-L/opt/local/lib -L../magick/.libs -L/usr/lib
$Config{'ldflags'}",

# Linker flags for building a dynamically loadable module
'LDDLFLAGS' => "-L/opt/local/lib -L../magick/.libs -L/usr/lib
$Config{'lddlflags'}",



The current output for Makefile.PL is:

~/.cpan/build/PerlMagick $perl Makefile.PL
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lMagick
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -llcms
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ltiff
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lfreetype
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ljpeg
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lfontconfig
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lXext
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lSM
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lICE
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lX11
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lXt

Re: Problems Installing Image::Magick

The solution I found was to go to:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php

and install ImageMagick from source. This built and installed
PerlMagick as well.

If I had wanted to, I believe I could have gone back into CPAN and
modified the Makefile.PL file ( cpan> look Image::Magick) based on the
Makefile.PL that the ./configure step generated.
