You'd better tweak the graphics/ImageMagick port for this. Its Makefile should have the 'CONFIGURE_ARGS =+' -like strings you can use as a sample for the WITH_* option you can easily add. Be sure to include the DEPENDS variable update for your library, too.

Feel free to submit patch for that port then. The dependence library port should be already present on the ports tree, too.

A> So do I install with "make --with-autotrace" then "make

This is about ImageMagick's ./configure I think.

uninstall and compile anew, 'make clean' is the best to ensure this before 'make'.
