[publican-list] Failure of Publican Install on Os X Lion 7.2.3

So, this URL: https://www.redhat.com/archives/publican-list/2011-November/msg00003.html

has an extra step:

Install ImageMagick with PerlMagick via Mac Ports:
    a. port install ImageMagick +no_x11 +perl

I did that, and it seemed to go OK, mostly. It fetches about a gazillion files, but finally says  "--->  No broken files found."

I then followed the directions from this website:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752620

which says:
To install Publican on OS X with Macports, set the following install_path
parameters:

sudo ./Build install --install_path datadir=/opt/local/share/publican
--install_path generated=/opt/local/share/publican/sitetemplate  --install_path
web=/opt/local/share/publican/sitetemplate --install_path
templates=/opt/local/share/publican/templates --install_path etc=/opt/local/etc
--install_path completion=/opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d

Publican also needs to override the common_config and common_content paths like
this:

publican create --name=testbook --common_config=/opt/local/share/publican
--common_content=/opt/local/share/publican/Common_Content

I then tried to create a testfile, foobook. Almost, but not quite. Here's the last bit of the log:

OSX is definitely not a "supported" platform yet, but a few of us have been able to make this work and I'm sure we can get it sorted out.
