PATH is presumably the shell variable $PATH ? Yes the list of directories to search to find the command you entered. | 2. What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH and how do I set it? same way and style as PATH. It is a list of directories to search for to find the extra libraries a command needs. NOTE this is DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on a MacOSX, just to be different! | 3. Will this be doable using your method outlined here: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building That is for building a RPM package for installation. The package manager will insist only one package for a particualr bit of software is installed. My note for multiple versions are much more RAW and are located in http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/info/graphics/imagemagick.hints Much of the later info in this file pre-dates the development of IM examples.
