I think you are referring to my old script for Debian 6 (Squeeze). That script did not install GraphicsMagick period but instead installed Imagemagick. In that case the development package was libmagickcore-dev. That worked fine for Debian Squeeze. At that time Imagemagick and GraphicsMagick were more interchangeable. I'm sure I could have used either one - was more or less a coin flip. > I didn't note before starting this adventure. And yes, too many root > passwords!

I don't currently have a Debian Jessie installation to play with, but I could put together a virtual machine. Regarding Ubuntu, I have had a new version of the Ubuntu script working in 15.10 for a few days but didn't finalize the comments and post it until today. I wanted to give it a final acid test on a clean installation of 15.10 first - did that in a virtual machine a few hours ago. The new script be found via the following link: http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/xastir.html When all was said and done, the only 2 changes applicable to version 15.10 as compared to 14.04 were 1) remove libxp-dev and 2) add libwebp-dev. The new script should also work in versions 14.10 and 15.04. My observations using those releases briefly was that no relevant package names had changed from 14.04 to 14.10 to 15.04. I had manually built Xastir successfully in both 14.10 and 15.04 using the 14.04 installation notes from the Wiki.
