This is my thinking. I need to jump right to 2.0.

I don't have physical access to Agnus. She is colocated in Virginia
(superb.net), and I am in the process of moving. I can't really take her
offline for to long because everyone will quit (if I am down for 5 minutes
I get phone calls and emails). So, I was hoping that someone would have a
quick fix.

Have your tried compiling ImageMagick on a 68k system (with 2.0)? If you
have, when you use the convert command what happens, do you get you an
error?

Also, what I don't understand is why doesn't it work when I compile it
from an old pkgsrc (before elf). For right now, I would be happy to get
even an old version of ImageMagick work. This way I could upgrade properly
when I have time.

Some of the older versions will let you build without one of the
dependants by adding something to mk.conf. I am going to try this, because
I don't know what else to do. This was the solution for get wget to work
was to build it without ssl support, but I have been having problem with
wget since right after 1.6 came out.

Thanks,
Al
