ldconfig should only affect the run-time linker/loader, and not
"configure", right Chuck/Jack?  In other words, if you compiled a
library in and then actually try to run xastir and it chokes because
it can't find a library, that's when you mess with /etc/ld.so.conf
and then run ldconfig.

It's possible that "configure" needs to be tweaked to look in
another path for it on Mandrake.  Just where are your libMagick
libraries located?
