This is just a note on freshening up homebrew if an install doesn't work.
Attempting to install ImageMagick via homebrew on OSX Lion did not bring me satisfactory results. A quick Google search landed me on this post which was a good reminder and walk thru on cleaning up homebrew. This is just a summary:
Uninstall imagemagick:
... brew uninstall imagemagick
Update Homebrew:
... brew update
Clean up Homebrew:
... brew cleanup
Ensure Homebrew is well:
... brew doctor
If there are any warnings listed, do the suggested cleanup. In my case I needed to upgrade XCode and git and remove some orphaned files.
Reinstall imagemagick:
... brew install imagemagick
That fixed it for me.
