Getting Imagemagick (and more) to work with MAMP on OS X

I’ve been using MAMP on my macbook for doing my web development at home and can’t say enough good things about it. Unfortunately I had to start using some binaries not included with MAMP, ImageMagick for example.

Update: Commentors have been reporting this fix is not working on Snow Leopard or MAMP 1.8.4

Installing ImageMagick via MacPorts is simple enough:

sudo port install ImageMagick

but trying to run it via the MAMP stack gives you the apache error:

dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
  Expected in: /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

or something similar. Continue Reading →

Proper backspace/delete in iTerm, Screen, and Irssi

Well I haven’t posted in what feels like months now – actually it may be months – but regardless, lots has been going on and I’ll get to that in a big post very soon. For the meantime while its fresh on my mind:

For some reason today, I noticed that the delete key on my macbook wasn’t working through iTerm in Irssi (a IRC client). Now I’ve been using it forever and I swear that it always worked before now… well actually I moved my server from SuSE to Nexenta (Solaris) so that might have caused the problem…

Anyways, the delete button doesn’t work as expected – like a backspace button. To fix, simply:

  1. Open the Bookmarks.
  2. Select Manage Profiles...
  3. Choose Keyboard Profiles
  4. Choose your current profile (probably xterm (OS X))
  5. Edit the mapping for delete to send hex code 8

Boom. Done. Enjoy all your backspacing goodness.

Thanks StudioDC!
