You are right about there being two version. Before using MacPorts to  
port ImageMagick, I made the mistake of installing it manually from  
the ImageMagick ftp site using the UNIX installation instructions.  
This did not work with Octave, so I renamed all the ImageMagick  
directories/files I could find (but did not delete them just in  
case). I guess there must be some statement in the Octave set-up that  
is incorrect. Do you know how to fix this?
