I have installed ImageMagick using brew install imagemagick. This all worked fine and I can run any ImageMagick command from the Terminal / Command line.

Now when I try to use the ImageMagick classes in PHP, I get an error Class 'Imagick' not found in .... I guess this is because the ImageMagick module is not loaded.

Could anyone help me to get this thing working in PHP? Thanks!

I just did this after a lot of experimenting. For now, this seems to be the way to do it for php 5.3:

brew tap josegonzalez/php
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install php53-imagick

No idea who Jose Gonzalez is but apparently we are in his debt....
