A quick note from a Linux Mandriva 2006.0/i586 system:
* The Suse binary runs happily now that I have created two symlinks
that were missing on my machine:
/usr/lib/libWand.so /usr/lib/libWand.so.6
/usr/lib/libMagick.so /usr/lib/libMagick.so.6
* Source compilation for 0.992 was fine as well (0.991 failed in libICU)
Greetings and keep up the good work!
