in reply to ImageMagick Incomplete Labeling

I can't actually run your script, but a simpler version works with the latest IM-version-6.4.3, built from source. I think its a Fedora bug. You can find the definitions on Perl-magic help

. Why don't you build the latest IM-6.4.3 from source, and see if it works? Or run my script, and see if it works, if it does, then maybe Cache::FileCache is screwing you up. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Image::Magick;

my $image = Image::Magick->new;
umask 0022;
my @pics= <*.png>;

my $ok;
foreach my $pic (@pics){    
    $ok = $image->Read($pic) and warn ($ok);
  }

print "Montage...\n";
my $montage =
    $image->Montage(geometry => '300x300+8+4>', 
          gravity=>'Center',
          tile=>'5x+10+200',
          label => "[%p] %i %wx%h %b",
          );

$ok = $montage->Write('montage.png') and warn ($ok);

    Tried program by zentara but does not run. Tried installing ImageMagick-6.4.3-10.tar.gz under Fedora 9 from scratch the make install failed with an error 2.

      I don't know what "error 2" is, but "make install" is throwing everything into one command, the configure, build, and install. Possibly you ran make install as a user, rather than root? Maybe you don't have the c++ devel rpm installed, etc.

      Start fresh. Unpack the tarball, then 

      configure --prefix=/usr # assuming your old binaries are in /usr/bin
#check for errors
make
#check for errors
# su to root
make install

# now the c libs are installed

# go to the PerlMagick subdir
 perl Makefile.PL
make
# su to root
make install

      Report back at what step the error occurs, and what it says.

        I'm using ImageMagick-6.4.3 and gcc-c++-4.3.0-8.i386

        I can find no Fedora9 c++ development libraries

        My steps are:

        (1)./configure --prefix=/usr/bin --with-perl-options 2>&1|tee config.out

        (2)make install 2>&1|tee install.out

        I see no issues in config.out, but tail of install.out is:

        collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 Segmentation fault

        make1: *** coders/avi.la Error 1

        make1: Leaving directory `/root/IMAGEMAGICK/ImageMagick-6.4.3'

        make: *** install Error 2

        There are three warnings but they do not appear to be significant.
