The default Perl is configured to build XS modules as universal binaries,
but a library you're linking against (probably ImageMagick) is not built as
a UB. This error is lipo complaining that one of the two binary components
it's trying to assemble into a universal binary is missing, because it
failed to build.

You should have gotten an earlier compiler error telling you where the
original failure was - the above is the last error. It's *far* more useful
to trace errors from first to last, since later errors can be the extended
result of earlier ones.

You could edit
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm to remove
the "-arch i386" and "-arch ppc" directives from the compiler and linker
flags. Your modules will only be built for the native the architecture of
the system you're using if you do that, but if they're only going to be used
on that system, or on other systems just like it, that won't matter.
