You're probably running into an ImageMagick packaging problem, where
Magick-config doesn't tell Xastir about required libraries for that
particular compile of ImageMagick, therefore the test that Xastir's
configure does to see if a simple program can be compiled fails.

Check your config.log, make.log, whatever file to see what the true
problem is.  It's most likely a library that ImageMagick is
dependent on that was not listed in the .spec file for the
ImageMagick RPM.  It's a common problem.

If that's what it is, report that problem back to SuSE.  If they
never hear about it, more people will have trouble with it in the
future.
