Hiya Curt and Kurt... ;) It sure is an RPM issue, the QuantumDepth has not been set in GraphicsMagick. The latest source of GraphicsMagick allows ./configure --with-quantum-depth=16 however it has problems with Perl so nearly there. Installed the latest version of Perl, 5.10.0 via YUM UPDATE (Fedora 9). However a 'make' of GraphicsMagick complains of a missing file in the directory below called 'libperl.a' and fails. /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/ This file IS there: 'libperl.so' so copied it to 'libperl.a', make clean, then make again and all OK. Recompiled Xastir and all graphic functions are back to normal. ImageMagick is OK: /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.8/config/configure.xml <configure name="QuantumDepth" value="16"/> Best to 'rpm -e GraphicsMagick GraphicsMagick-devel' prior make install of the latest source which is available from GraphicsMagick.org Thanks to all and regs, Rod. > If you forget the details in the future, remember the > xastir/scripts/LSB-BUILD-GRAPHICSMAGICK script.
