I've had this error in the past on FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE with an
earlier version of the port.

The problem was the libtool I had on my FreeBSD system.  It was too
old, and the ImageMagick port didn't list it as a dependency.
ImageMagick comes with its own libtool but the port apparently uses the
existing one.

This is the message I sent back then.

|
|   Hello Torsten,
|
| Earlier this year I started to use FreeBSD; its ports system won me over.
| At the moment I'm running on-the-fly image creation software for use in
| a webserver, and so far I've managed to do it with existing packages and
| ports.  ImageMagick is one of them.
|
| The reason I'm writing is that 'make install' failed for 5.2.3.
| It failed in the test for the mingw32 environment.  When restarted,
| it failed in its call to ltconfig (right after its check for 'strip').
|
| It turns out I had to upgrade my libtool package.  After that, it
| installed normally.  I haven't figured out how to add dependencies to a
| package but maybe you can add this?  I haven't checked if this resolves
| the mingw32 problem as well.
|
| Before I forget,
|
|   Thanks for your package!
