Based on some earlier posts, it sounds like there are some issues with GraphicsMagick, so yes, I recommend removing GraphicMagick via Synaptic and installing Imagemagick.
See http://xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_8.10 for a list of packages that includes Imagemagick to install via Synaptic. I would install them prior to executing the configure, make and make install portions of the commands Rick gave you below.
