Answer 3

On Mountain Lion OSX,

Even with the updated brew for imagemagick(which includes libtool), this error seemed to happen to me.

so i fixed it using the following commands

brew uninstall libtool
brew install libtool --universal
brew link libtool --force

Answer 4

This helped me after restoring OS X 10.9.3 from time machine.

brew uninstall imagemagick
brew uninstall libtool
brew install libtool --universal
brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool
brew install imagemagick
brew install Homebrew/python/pillow
brew link --overwrite pillow

Answer 5

I too use homebrew for installing packages but imagemagick stopped working after upgrading OSX 10.8 to 10.9 (Mavericks). I had to do the following steps:

brew uninstall imagemagick
brew uninstall libtool
brew install libtool --universal
brew install imagemagick --build-from-source

Why the --build-from-source? Well for me running brew install imagemagick on its own to install the pre-built binary wasn't sufficient; it fixed the original 'dyln' error but was replaced with:

unable to load module `/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.7-7/lib/ImageMagick//modules-Q16/coders/png.la': file not found @ error/module.c/OpenModule/1277

Answer 6

I tried most of the solutions above and they didn't work. Here's how I fixed my problem:

brew install imagemagick;
brew install freetype;
cd /usr/X11/lib/;    
sudo mv libfreetype.6.dylib libfreetype.6.dylib.orig;
sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib libfreetype.6.dylib

Tested on OS X 10.7.2
