ImageMagick on Mac

I followed the manual install description to ImageMagick on http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#macosx , but when i try to run it I get this:

pc23:/ bo$ cd picture
pc23:/picture bo$ ls
Stranden.jpg
pc23:/picture bo$ convert stranden.jpg -resize 24x24% converted.jpg
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libXext.6.dylib
Referenced from: /library/ImageMagick-6.4.2/bin/convert
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
pc23:/picture bo$

and when i restart the machine i get "command not found" and most type all in again. I will use it together with PHP so it is important that I do not need to type all commands again after a restart.

The machine is running Intel MAC OS X 10.4

Hey there, I use MAMP on OSX rather than the inbuilt Apache installation because MAMP includes the PHP, MySQL and other tools such as phpMyAdmin already fully working.

If you want to try MAMP instead then look at (http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html) and then to get ImageMagick you can read this

The conflict is that the site allready is running on a Mac OS X Server where Apache, MySQL and PHP is installed.

My problem is that I can't get ImageMagick install so i can use it in the terminal on my test Mac machine. Maybe do I further on need to uninstall Apache MySQL PHP on the Mac Server and install MAMP, but I will come to that later.
