perlmagick

[James Jones]

That was the trick! Thanks a lot! I'll have to make a note to make sure
the XFree86-devel package is installed to make that manually compile
correctly (still wish RH would get that package back). Thanks again!

I just dealt with ImageMagick on a 7.3 server for a client, but that
one had old libpng, libgd and other issues.  Took me a while.

The error you mention indicates that you don't have the XFree86
development system installed.  You must make sure you have the
"XFree86-devel" RPM installed.  Grab your CDs, find the one that has
that RPM on it, put the CD in and:

	rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/XFree86-devel*.rpm

By the way, the latest ImageMagick is 5.5.7 (according to their
website).
