using XCGallary on a macintosh

I managed to get this working on one machine, but it was much harder that it should have been and it's been a while.

ImageMagic isn't installed and when I went to install that I discovered the graphic libraries it depends on weren't installed either. And it was extremely difficult to get things installed because everything pretty much assumed it was already there.

Can someone explain how to install these on an intel mac or point me into the direction of documentation that explains it?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a link that shows how to install these libraries?

I have no idea how mac o/s installs programs, but I run Ubuntu (another *nix based O/S) and they have a package for Imagemagick which automatically installs all dependencies. Does Mac O/S not have something similar?

Perhaps this is it?

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/#imagemagick

or this

http://mac.softpedia.com/get/DTP-Prepress/ImageMagick.shtml

:edit:
Actually I think they are just imagemagick itself, does Mac o/s not have a way of installing software through a software package repository, in ubuntu we have synaptic, and it automatically check dependencies and installs them. I'm sure Mac o/s must have something similar.

Just to clarify, I can run the scripts to build and install imagamagik, the problem I'm running into is all graphics formats are set to off because the jpeg, gif, etc libraries it depends on are apparently not installed in the shipping version of the MacOS. Where do I get those from and how do I install them.

And note that the Macintosh is now unix based. I just can't find anything to explain what libraries ImageMagic is assuming are installed or how to install them so ImageMagic will do the right thing. Scripts that build/install the libraries would be ideal so I can get Intel native versions that will run faster.

Thanks for any help.
