   Now with full sources, found (not critical - this setup does its ax25

   Got it now with full sources

   6.3.8.9 was installed first, and was always there.  6.4.1 might have
clobbered it, but make uninstall to take it out made no difference.
Still no ImageMagick.

   GraphicsMagick now being tried...

options and external libraries:

MINIMUM OPTIONS:
  ShapeLib (Vector maps) ................. : yes

  GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : yes (GraphicsMagick)

  dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : yes
  rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes

xastir will be installed in /usr/local/bin.

  OK,but xastir still won't render jpegs.

Complete re-install of Mandriva, and no 6.4.1 or 10.7.0 (10.9.0 is there
but NOT installed).  Now have

imagemagick 6.3.8.9
libmagick-devel 6.3.8.9
libmagick1 6.3.8.9
perl-Image-Magick

./configure still does NOT find ImageMagick

checking for GraphicsMagick-config... no
checking for Magick-config... /usr/bin/Magick-config
checking magick/api.h usability... no
checking magick/api.h presence... no
checking for magick/api.h... no
configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find ImageMagick include files:  Building
w/o ImageMagick support. ***

   Magick-config is there, where it ought to be.  api.h is installed,
but in a different place in 2008.1, and it looks like Magick-config
can't find it to report to the configure process...

   I'm about at the end of the tether here.  I WANT xastir nicely
indoors here on Mandriva - I do NOT want to run ui-view (and go through
a whole new learning curve) on the Xp machine and get to it clumsily
with vnc, or sit at it in the freezing shed (mid-Winter here in New
Zealand's "Roaring 40's") to do my APRS.  What do I do next?

   Meanwhile it's running, but showing only the barest outline of the
country.  It's not pretty like it should be, and not usable zoomed-in.
