I know that some on some systems it won't work right in xastir if "lcms" isn't installed. To determine whether it can use GraphicsMagick, configure checks a bunch of stuff --- the presence of GraphicsMagick-config, the presence and usability of a header file, and whether it can find a WriteImage function in the GraphicsMagick library. This last one it does by linking a test program with -lGraphicsMagick --- if for any reason that link fails, configure concludes that you don't have magick. And that can fail if there's *any* issue with the link, including a missing dependent library that "GraphicsMagick-config --libs" says you need. Instead of just looking at configure's console output, you'll have to dig through "config.log" and see what is going on when configure probes for GM. Deep in the bowels of that file you'll find the place where it says it can't use it, and the reason. (aside, apropos of nothing important) It is puzzling that there's that "-n" at the beginning of the GM line. Never seen that before. But looking at configure, it's right there in the echo command line --- on other systems, "echo -n" means "don't issue a new line at the end of this string" but clearly yours ignores it (which is why the "no" is on the next line instead of the same line). -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
