​Sorry for the slow follow up due to vacation.  I looked at the list of
Debian packages a while back, and all were already installed with the
exception of one that did not exist in Ubuntu 15.10​
​
​.  There was a similar one installed that appeared to be equivalent.  The
names escape me now.  When attempting to build Xastir in Ubuntu 15.10 the
configure script points to not finding key files that would normally be
provided by the dev packages for imagemagick or GraphicsMagick.  With
respect to GraphicsMagick, I'm not sure exactly what this message means...


​"
​
checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick"
​
... no ​

​If this issue is also present in 16.04 this April I'm sure it will get
more attention.​  15.10 is basically a lame duck release.
