Hello Henrik,
The behaviour is not "intended" as you so nicely put it.
It is/was a bug and has been corrected in the 6.4.9-9 version.
From the ChangeLog:
2009-03-01 6.4.9-9 Cristy <quetzlzacatena...@image...>
* Convert returns MagickFalse for the -version option (reference
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13230).
I think "conversion -version" is a correct way to check whether
ImageMagick is installed.
autoconf contains a macro AC_PATH_PROG that checks the existence of the
executable
But there is no predefined macro as far as I can see that checks whether
a particular version is installed
However I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the IMAGIC
variable.
It seems indeed unused elsewhere.
I'll try to figure that out next
a+
chriss
