Your question isn't a modperl question. Please keep that in mind when posting to this list. Maybe you're trying to use Perl::Magick as part of a project that uses modperl, but that doesn't make this a modperl issue.

The file "magick/api.h" isn't installed. You may have Imagemagick installed, but you don't have the development files associated with it installed. Most package-based Linux distributions, like RedHat (or RedHat/RPM based systems) or Debian (or Debian/DEB based systems) "split up" a whole package into parts. You probably don't have the "FOO-dev" or "libFOO" package that goes along with FOO. I use Debian... here's what I have that pertains to your query re: ImageMagick... rdice@tanru:~$ export COLUMNS=120 && dpkg --list | grep -i image ii imagemagick 5.4.2.3-1 Image manipulation programs. ii libmagick++5 5.4.2.3-1 The object-oriented C++ API to the ImageMagick library ii libmagick++5-dev 5.4.2.3-1 The object-oriented C++ API to the ImageMagick library.--develop ii libmagick5 5.4.2.3-1 Image manipulation library (free version). (The above list edited to remove matches that don't have anything to do with ImageMagick.) Maybe you use a RPM-based system... check out http://rpmfind.net/ in order to track down which package contains the file you need.
