[Xastir] suse 9.2 ImageMagick ????

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

As I duck (Curt's armed):  I *really* despise YaST.  It remains one of 
the main reasons I use SuSE on my cluster under protest.  Since Fedora 
started incorporating Yum, things have been a lot happier in RPM-land.

OK.  Off religion.

I usually abandon the RPMs for IM, rpm -e them (do an 'rpm -a|grep 
magick' to find what packages are really installed...), download and 
install ImageMagick source in its latest form, compile it using arcane 
invocations, test it within itself, test it with Xastir, rip it out and 
drop back to the last one Curt's been able to successfully compile 
against.  Unless there's a security alert against ImageMagick, I can 
usually live with the older versions, and I use it for a LOT with the 
radar processing tasks.  Rarely, and I'm positive it's by accident, 
RedHat/Fedora has an ImageMagick build that's workable with Xastir.  I 
doubt SuSE can do much better.

Jason's solution was the right one: a statically linked version.  I 
started on that project a long time ago.  I probably need to embark on 
it again.
