Installing imagemagick works.
But when I try to run a command it says bad cpu type.
What is this and how do I get rid of it so that it works right?
N.b. I'm 'behind the times' and only using a core solo (if that helps)

A:
It sounds like you may have a 64-bit build of imagemagick which you're trying to run on a 32-bit only CPU. As Greg noted, running the file command on it will confirm this; it will show you something like this:
styrone$ file /usr/local/bin/imagemagick
/usr/local/bin/imagemagick: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/local/bin/imagemagick (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/local/bin/imagemagick (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
If you don't see a line with "(for architecture i386)", that's your problem. You'll need to get a build that supports 32-bit Intel.

I don't know, maybe I installed it wrong, I can't get the file command to work and show me that...
