[Xastir] Can't find ImageMagick lib

[Alan Crosswell]

Red Hat separates runtime libraries from developer libraries.  So bzip2 is 
installed by default which includes all the binaries but bzip2-devel is not. 
This one includes libbz2.{a,so} and bzlib.h.  The theory is that a user of a 
program like xastir who doesn't compile it himself shouldn't need to clutter up 
his disk with a bunch of .a's and .h's.  All the -devel packages are present on 
the CDs (they are actually produced from the same spec file).  Usually they can 
be found on disk 2 or 3 which is where I found it last night.  There's actually 
usually three RPMs built from a given spec file:  runtime binaries and shared 
libraries,  developer binaries and header files, and sources.
