If magic reverts to a NULL device on your own display, then the problem
is usually that the X11 libraries or header files were not found.
This should have shown up at configuration time in some message (but
not necessarily);  in versions 7.2, if you used the autoconf "configure"
program, you may only see something like "Looking for X ...  no".  I've
seen some OS-X setups that did not have all the X11 files necessary for
compiling; only those needed for running applications.

The link you sent mentions patching against the 7.1.5 distribution.
Have you tried the 7.2.64 version?  I have made a lot of changes to
facilitate compiling under OS-X.  Of course, if you're missing X11
header files, that won't make any difference.

					Regards,
					Tim
