Problems installing Image::Magick on AIX 4.3.2

dthacker has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've been asked to load Image::Magick on our AIX system. Current perl version is 5.00503. (Yes, an upgrade is slated Real Soon Now.) We're using the AIX 'c' compiler. CPAN is giving me the lots of errors (listed below the readmore) We have used CPAN sucessfully before, though not on such a complex module. Thanks in advance if you can help!

This looks like a problem of not seeing the forest due to all of the trees. "`#include file <magick/api.h>`" is a serious error that could easily be causing all of the other errors. You need to figure that one out first thing. Your compiler's -I option is likely to come in handy. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]

`That PROVES his guilt,' said the Queen. `It proves nothing of the sort!' said Alice. `Why, you don't even know what they're about!' `Read them,' said the King. The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. `Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked. `Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely, `and go on till you come to the end: then stop.' These were the verses the White Rabbit read:-- `"Magick.xs", line 76.10: 1506-296 (S) #include file <magick/api.h> not + found.`	[reply]
