As you should be.  I've mixed things in the past.  Sometimes that
works well, sometimes not.

If you install the Shapelib stuff you should be able to get Shapelib
and dbfawk enabled as well, then can use the very detailed Tiger
2003 Shapefile street maps.  I'd recommend that.

You're right about ImageMagick needed for the online maps.  Also
either wget or libcurl.

You didn't end up with ImageMagick support after loading in
lcms-devel and reconfiguring?  Check the config.log file to see what
it's complaining about now.  It might be something very simple.

Check again.  New development snapshot released today.  New
togglebutton in the Interface menu to enable it.  Port 2023.
