Fixing Lion libpng issues
-------------------------
Until this issue https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/4468 is resolved installing Lion screws up ImageMagick's png support. The following steps are a hacky work around to get things going again. `identify: memory allocation failed` is the error message you'll receive before applying the fix.
brew uninstall imagemagick
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
sudo mv libpng.dylib libpng.old.dylib
sudo ln -s libpng12.0.dylib libpng.dylib
brew install imagemagick

Missing a k on imagemagic at the end there.

Worked great, thanks. That's the exact error I was getting.
