My update to OSX El Capitan brought along a bunch of brew updates which broke my ImageMagick install. I followed someone's advice to

rm -rf ~/.julia/v0.4/Homebrew/deps/usr/Cellar/imagemagick

but maybe that was bad advice :) Now I can't build it at all:

> Pkg.build("ImageMagick")

How should I "bring it back"? I've tried `Pkg.rm("ImageMagick")` then `Pkg.add("ImageMagick")`, but that just fails. I could brew install it at the command line, but apparently that's a bad idea for ImageMagick specifically.

Solved it

cd ~/.julia/v0.4/Homebrew/deps/usr/bin
./brew install imagemagick
