Importing problems in 0.42 pre2 on OSX

This is probably related to bug 1237066. I'm trying the
Inkscape-0.41+0.42pre2.dmg OSX binary. My system is OSX
10.3.9 (G4 Powerbook with 512 Mb RAM).

I've been able to import some *.ai files--very simple
ones. But complex ones fail. For the simple ones, the
colors are off. Using CMYK output in saving (from
Freehand) seems to have the best results.

tif, jpeg, and png claim to import, but nothing shows
up. There is no preview for these files either. Targa
seems to work. I had somewhat better luck importing png
and tif in a slightly earlier (pre0) binary of 0.42 for
OSX.

All *.ai files give me the following error on import
(including the simple ones that work and the complex
ones that don't).

Couldn't load Perl module Image::Magick. Images will
be skipped.
Can't locate Image/Magick.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

This is a great program. I hope this helps. I work on
the GRASS project and look forward to Inkscape as a way
to jazz up my GIS output for publication and presentation.
