> Yeah, but here is the interesting part.  ImageMagick was already installed on my computer.  Not sure why it isn't working but the package maintainer is on the job.  He filed a NEEDINFO and I just sent it to him.

>> Well, there's your problem! (right?) 'XPM and/or ImageMagick support have not been compiled in." Isn't Image/GraphicsMagick required to display online maps? Also suggest they use GraphicsMagick over ImageMagick due to the historical problems with a dynamic API.

Admittedly I don't know enough to tell if this is relevant, but when I tried to compile (on Fedora 9 - arghhh) from CVS sources without ImageMagick, I kept getting an error about GraphicsMagick even though the GraphicsMagick library was in /usr/lib and /etc/ld.so.conf contained that path:

checking for GraphicsMagick-config... /usr/bin/GraphicsMagick-config 
checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h usability... yes 
checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h presence... yes 
checking for GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h... yes 
checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick... no 
configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find GraphicsMagick library files: 
Building w/o GraphicsMagick support. *** 
checking for Magick-config... no 

When I yum installed ImageMagick-devel the above GraphicsMagick error went away, but I still have no online maps...  Just an FYI.
