Since up-to-date version 6.8.1-3 is the same, I'd like to test older versions of ImageMagick, 6.4.1 and 6.3.5. 6.4.1-1018 already built on Tiger – but how can install the binaries? They're in a file imagemagick_6.4.1-1018.deb… 'fink install imagemagick' would, of course, install the fowl ImageMagick 6.8.1-3…

'fink dumpinfo -fallversions imagemagick' will tell you what versions 
are available on your system (and will tell you whether a deb is built 
and/or installed as well).

If, for example, it lists imagemagick-6.4.1-1018 as available, you can 
install that specific version by using the command 'fink install 
imagemagick-6.4.1-1018'
