Yeah tried just compiling and I got a lot of error messages which looked like this:

Magick.c: In function `XS_Image__Magick_Animate': Magick.c:1978: warning: unused variable `ref' Magick.c:1973: warning: unused variable `ix' Magick.c: In function `XS_Image__Magick_Append': Magick.c:2052: warning: unused variable `ref' Magick.c:2047: warning: unused variable `ix' Magick.c: In function `XS_Image__Magick_Average': Magick.c:2183: warning: unused variable `ref' Magick.c:2178: warning: unused variable `ix'

Then the last one looked like this

gcc -L/usr/local/lib -shared -L/usr/local/lib Magick.o -o blib/arch/ +auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so -L/usr/local/lib -L/u sr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype -lz -L/usr/lib -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng +-ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -l xml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so] Error 1

So I think it failed at the end because it couldnt find a library file... do you think I need to change where is says.

-L/usr/lib -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng -ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -l +SM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -l xml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -lpthread

To be something more like

-L/home/tdf/ImageMagick/lib -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng -ldpstk -ld +ps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -l xml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -lpthread
