As I recall that's needed by ImageMagick.  We don't specifically
require it for Xastir.  What does this command tell you:

    Magick-config --libs

Mine gives this:

-L/usr/lib -lMagick -llcms -ltiff -lfreetype -ljasper -ljpeg -lpng
-ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lz -lpthread -lm


That means ImageMagick is the one requiring liblcms.

If you boot off of CD or off floppy then go to the install CD's,
it'll take you right through wiping it all.

Yes.  On SourceForge.
