Those are the important parts for this discussion.

Either "configure" wasn't able to find libMagick.a/libMagick.so, or
it found one of them but couldn't find the symbol "WriteImage" in the
file.

Check where you have libMagick.so.  On my SuSE system it's in
/usr/lib.

If you can find it, run this command:

	/usr/bin/nm libMagick.so | grep WriteImage

To see if the symbol shows up.  If it does, it's likely that
"configure" is not looking in the right place for where your library
is stashed.

It's also possible that the "Magick-config" script, which is the
method that ImageMagick uses to pass interesting things to the
compiler, has a bug in your version.

You might try sending us the output of these commands:

	Magick-config --libs
	Magick-config --cppflags
	Magick-config --cflags
	Magick-config --ldflags
	Magick-config --version

And also tell us where the ImageMagick include headers and libraries
where installed on your system.
