Why not just build the code without either geotiff or magick support at all?
On a headless machine that's just bloat.

The stumbling block with xastir is dependency conflicts between libgeotiff2-dev and both imagemagick and graphicsmagick. I can have one or the other but not both. The conflict is well documented but, thus far, I have not found a solution.

For that last reason I have sent this enquiry here rather than directly to n1mjf who has already had xastir working on the RPi. Perhaps n1mjf would like to dip in and provide a bit of detail.
