Fyi, the HowTo-Mandriva covers 2007.1 and 2008.0 - it has not been
updated to cover 2008.1, but there are very few differences between
2008.0 and 2008.1

OK, so far so good.

This applies only to 2007.1 - it is installed automatically as a
dependency in 2008.x - the HowTo says to skip this step for 2008.

The HowTo says gv not gvfs - the gv version is 3.63 in 2008.1

Yes, selecting libxp-devel will auto-select libxp6 as a dependency

The HowTo says libopenmotif3-devel, which is version 2.23, which
will avoid a bug in 2.3.0.  libopemotif3 will be installed also as a
dependency.  If you installed version 2.3, though, it's not a
showstopper.

The HowTo says libax25_0-devel - libax25_0 is installed automatically
as a dependency.  My Mandriva 2008.1 is finding these rpms OK.

libmagick-devel is normally what you want, which is version 6.3.8.9.
This is one of the differences between Mandriva 2008.0 and 2008.1.
Selecting libmagick-devel normally installs the libmagick1
package as a dependency.   I believe the problem is that
the 6.4.1 version you installed from source is causing a
conflict. (see below near your configure results)

The HowTo says libcurl-devel for 2008 not libcurl4-devel
The version is 7.18, yes.

The HowTo says libshapelib-devel for 2008 not libshapelib1-devel.
On some of these you appear to be looking at the 2007.1 packages
instead of the 2008 versions.  The shapelib version is 1.2.10

The above are correct - Mandriva 2008.1 has libdb4.6 and 4.6-devel
vs. db4.5 in the 2008.0 version.

My Mandriva 2008.1 found libproj0-devel, version 4.6.0, and it
installed libproj0 version 4.6.0 as a dependency.

>  libgeotiff1-devel - No package

That's a change from Mandriva 2008.0 to 2008.1.  In 2008.1 you want
libgeotiff-devel, which is version 1.2.4.

You probably don't need to bother with any of the above

the main thing that needs to be fixed is Imagemagick.
I think the problem is the 6.4.1 version you installed
from source doesn't match the 6.3.89 development
package in the repo.  Can you find an imagemagick
6.4.1 development source package and compile that?
Otherwise, if the 6.4.1 version can be deleted, then
the 6.3.89 packages can be installed.

Another option is to switch to GraphicsMagick.  Your
note says no RPM, but I am seeing them when I search
with the package manager.  I'll look into GraphicsMagick
and send a separate message on what I find there.
