Problem with sed when installing ImageMagick

[ari@…]

What on earth is "sed s

|" trying to achieve?

I do not know! I have not seen this problem before.

What versions of ImageMagick, MacPorts, Xcode and Mac OS X are you using, on what kind of Mac? Does the keyword "SL" mean you're on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard? If so, you or someone else with SL will have to figure this one out, or report it to the ImageMagick developers; I don't have Snow Leopard.

[ari@…]

Yes, Snow Leopard. Macports is from trunk about a day ago. Perhaps Toby is interested in this task since he wants to resolve SL issues and from your comment it looks like this is not a problem with the port itself necessarily.

Not related to SnowLeopard. Committed fix in r52830
