I just got rid of one very old RedHat system, so I'm down to just
SuSE and Slackware now.  I can certainly help with SuSE.  I have
SuSE 8.1/8.2/9.0 on various systems.

If he's not in the U.S., he may not have much of a need for the
libgeotiff stuff anyway.  There may not be any maps available for
the area.

I'd suggest Shapelib and ImageMagick only.  Skip the libproj/
libgeotiff/ libgdal stuff for now unless specific maps that those
libraries support are needed.
