Yep. ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick are missing, as is "map_caching" (which really means "properly installed Berkeley DB") as well. > Did I grab the wrong CVS?

You want to add ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick and their related development package, PCRE and its development package, and a version of Berkeley DB 4.x and its matching 4.x development headers. Installing PCRE will enable dbfawk. Installing Image/GraphicsMagick will enable various raster map formats including the on-line TIGER, terraserver aerial photos, and weather maps. Installing Berkeley DB will enable map caching, which will reduce the number of times you download on-line maps. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
