I know this isn't related to drupal per-se, but I'm hoping a large enough portion of the community has had success with acidfree that someone's come across my particular problem (getting imagick to recognize my ImageMagick install and compile)

Here's what I'm working with:

* RedHat Enterprise ES R4
* Drupal 4.7rc3
* php 5.05
* mysql 5 CE
* curl 7.15.2
* ImageMagick 6.26
* Imagick 0.9.11

No Pear at the moment.

Everything other than Imagick is working perfect. I go to ./configure Imagemagick and it complains it can't find includes/magick/magick.h

After looking through configure, I notice a bunch of comments mentioning it's lousy with figuring out weird redhat paths for things. so i hardcode /usr/bin as my imagemagick-dir, since that's it.

./configure again, everything is going smoothly, sees magick.h, gets the version from Magic-config, and then i get to

"Checking for InitializeMagick in -lMagick... no
Configure: error: There is something wrong, blah blah blah"

I suspect the reason for that is twofold.

A] it really wanted magick.h to be in "includes/magick/", so i moved all the stuff in my "magick" folder to be a subdirectory of includes.

b] it still can't find whatever binary the -lMagick switch resides in....I have no idea what that binary might be that it's looking for though, as I'm not stellar with hacking up configure scripts.

I've heard much on the web as to imagick's config script being a bit spotty, particularly with redhat....anyone else have any luck?
