[Xastir] Compile issues

[Tony Hunt]

Alex and the Group ..

Well Ive made some serious breakthroughs .. Ive managed to get xastir 1.90
working with raster maps of a fashion.. Ive had little time this last week
to spend on this but last night I thought I would try and get ImageMagick to
compile .. It didnt work which is no real suprise. Imagamagick seems to be a
mother of all apps.. Quite oversized compared to xastir.. The whole package
will become predominantly imagemagick with xastir being a small portion..

Anyway .. After the install of imagemagick failed I decided to carry on
regardless and compile xastir .. Much to my suprise it compiled with
imagemagick support.. And whats more it ran and displays raster maps..

Ive created a xastir 1.9.0 deb file using checkinstall but it wont run upon
reboot and reinstall of the deb file... Remember this is a Live CD boot and
I am not doing any backups on shutdown.. xastir has issues with
libmagick.so.6 and cant find it. Looks like imagemagick again I think..

Just getting raster support was a major jaw dropper last night to say the
least.. So some real progress I guess. For most people the failure of  image
magic to install but xastir compiling probably wouldnt matter.
For me it is an issue because what I need to do is to make a deb file for
image magic and include it in the Live CD bootup as a package .. So I need
to correct the issues with the imagemagick install.

Any hints are appreciated.. Here is the configure results.

It appears to be configuring with perl magic .. Anything else thats amiss
may be shown here as well.. Do I need PerlMagick ??

Here are the errors encountered with the make install

It appears to have issues with Perl magick ..

I have found some helpful hints on this web page

Here are some things it says that may be relavant. Can you tell me what is
relavant here ?

And what about this comment ?
