Alex and the Group .. Well Ive made some serious breakthroughs .. Ive managed to get xastir 1.90 working with raster maps of a fashion.. Ive had little time this last week to spend on this but last night I thought I would try and get ImageMagick to compile .. It didnt work which is no real suprise. Imagamagick seems to be a mother of all apps.. Quite oversized compared to xastir.. The whole package will become predominantly imagemagick with xastir being a small portion..
Anyway .. After the install of imagemagick failed I decided to carry on regardless and compile xastir .. Much to my suprise it compiled with imagemagick support.. And whats more it ran and displays raster maps.. Ive created a xastir 1.9.0 deb file using checkinstall but it wont run upon reboot and reinstall of the deb file... Remember this is a Live CD boot and I am not doing any backups on shutdown.. xastir has issues with libmagick.so.6 and cant find it. Looks like imagemagick again I think.. Just getting raster support was a major jaw dropper last night to say the least.. So some real progress I guess. For most people the failure of image magic to install but xastir compiling probably wouldnt matter. For me it is an issue because what I need to do is to make a deb file for image magic and include it in the Live CD bootup as a package .. So I need to correct the issues with the imagemagick install. Any hints are appreciated.. Here is the configure results. http://www.users.on.net/~wavetel/temp/imagemagick-config.gif It appears to be configuring with perl magic .. Anything else thats amiss may be shown here as well.. Do I need PerlMagick ?? Here are the errors encountered with the make install http://www.users.on.net/~wavetel/temp/imagemagick-make-install.gif It appears to have issues with Perl magick .. I have found some helpful hints on this web page http://studio.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-users/2003-September/010612.html Here are some things it says that may be relavant. Can you tell me what is relavant here ? > ==== Preparing to build Imagemagick ==== >You are going to need a few packages before you can build Imagemagick >Install ghostscript: gsfonts, gs, gs-common >Install perl development: libperl-dev >Install jpeg support: libjpeg62-dev >Install freetype support: libfreetype6-dev And what about this comment ? > ./configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts >The path to the ghostscript fonts is incorrect for Debian.
