Ok here is exactly what was run on the system. First downloaded the source for bot ImageMagick and then the PerlMagick pm source gunzip'd the files un tar'd them and them in the respective dir's ran the ./configure, make , tried make test , and then make install ( ImageMagick lib ) here is the error for ImageMagic when you attempt to run make test;

[root@steve ImageMagick-5.5.6] 33# make test
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `test'
[download]

Now for the pm I ran the following perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install. Now this time when I ran thetest if faild everything. This is what I get when I run the initial perl Makefile.PL:

perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -llcms
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lfreetype
Writing Makefile for Image::Magick

Any ideas of what the major issue might be???

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
