Re: Problem building ImageMagick 6.3.0

["Wynfield Henman" <wynfield at gmail dot com>]

Modifying the configure.ac file may take away the "undefined CXX"
messages, but it didn't do anything else in my  case.   I can only get
a successfull build of ImageMagick by configuring as below:

./configure  --without-perl

To get rid of trying to build perlmagick
Because makng PerlMagick fails as follows with a whole bunch of
"undefined references" such as:
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9776:
undefined reference to `_GetLocaleExceptionMessage'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9738:
undefined reference to `_GetMagickInfoList'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9742:
undefined reference to `_CopyMagickString'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9743:
undefined reference to `_LocaleLower'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9746:
undefined reference to `_RelinquishMagickMemory'
Magick.o: In function `XS_Image__Magick_Read':
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9847:
undefined reference to `_GetExceptionInfo'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9852:
undefined reference to `_AcquireMagickMemory'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9861:
undefined reference to `_AcquireMagickMemory'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9878:
undefined reference to `_ThrowMagickException'
/usr/src/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.3.0/PerlMagick/Magick.xs:9971:
undefined reference to `_RelinquishMagickMemory'
-------------- end of undefined reference paste.
