If everything compiles correctly, you will get a new option in the pulldown menus named ImageMagick. If you didn't get this, then your configure did not pick up the ImageMagick correctly.

Make sure that you delete config.cache in your dx directory and then reconfigure. Watch to make sure that ImageMagick gets a yes option--then try and compile.

Thank you Peter and Dandy for pointing out Image Magick's extensions.

My main problem now boils down to: After compiling ImageMagick in,
how do I tell the DX executables to use ImageMagick for generating
pictures?

I've downloaded DX CVS to my Linux (RH 6.2) PC.
After adding the ImageMagick lib & include paths, my DX executables
now use libMagick.so.5 (checked with ldd).

But I can't see any effect of this on, for example, the WriteImage
module. This module still shows the same options as before (rgb,
r+g+b, tiff, pscolor/gray, epscolor/gray, gif, yuv, miff).
Is that alright?
When I choose "gif", the Message Window pops up with
"ERROR: WriteImage: Bad parameter: 'gif' is not a valid string for the
file format".

Can't see any difference with/without ImageMagick.

Thanks for your help.

Rob.
