:: Your question isn't a modperl question. Please keep that in :: mind when posting to this list. Maybe you're trying to use :: Perl::Magick as part of a project that uses modperl, but :: that doesn't make this a modperl issue.
I appreciate that. This is part of a mod_perl project, however I forgot to include "[OT]" in the subject line. The only reason I post here is that the quality of help, and accuracy of reply that I have experienced in the past is exactly what I need to get over my initial Linux confusion. However, if anyone knows of a _good_ Linux list... :: Immediately above is the problem. The file "magick/api.h" :: isn't installed. You may have Imagemagick installed, but you :: don't have the development files associated with it installed. OK. :: Most package-based Linux distributions, like RedHat (or :: RedHat/RPM based :: systems) or Debian (or Debian/DEB based systems) "split up" :: a whole package into parts. You probably don't have the :: "FOO-dev" or "libFOO" package that goes along with FOO. And it's RedHat I'm using. :: Maybe you use a RPM-based system... check out :: http://rpmfind.net/ in order to track down which :: package :: contains the file you need. http://rpmfind.net/ has already become my best friend! :-) Thank you.
