I am new to everything! Please, help
I am trying to install ImageMagic on OS X 10. 4.8. I am the only user. Downloading and compillation when OK. But when I enter "make install" on "Terminal" I get the message:

cd PerlMagick && make CC='gcc'
test -z "/usr/local/lib" || config/install-sh -c -d "/usr/local/lib"
mkdir: /usr/local: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make: *** [install-am] Error 2[/size]

How can I install the Program and get prmission.? Thanks

You typically need superuser (root) permission to install in /usr/local. First become superuser and then type

• make install

Thanks! But I need some more advice
I enabled root user and got to the "root" direcotry. (OS X 10.8.4) I tried to find /usr/local in the directory. i didn't. I am sure it is an obvious direction to somebody who is more familiar with the Mac directory. Can you advice me how to proceed? Thanks.

You can put ImageMagick anywhere on your system by setting the path with the configure script option

• --prefix

The default install goes to the

• /usr/local

path is a common place to put programs on Unix systems. The ImageMagick install program creates it if it does not already exist.
