Description Moritz Barsnick 2002-04-30 16:43:47 UTC 
Description of Problem:

In ImageMagick's base package, /usr/X11R6/bin/Magick-config and /usr/X11R6/bin/Magick++-config are delivered. IMHO, this is a bit misleading, as they are only really good for _developing_ something with ImageMagick. They should therefore be in ImageMagick-devel.

A side effect is that programs using libMagick may try to compile with Magick-config's output info, but fail due to missing installment of ImageMagick-devel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.4.3.11-1

How Reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to build an app which relies on the ImageMagick libs (i.e. on ImageMagick-devel), such as autotrace.
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

./configure finds Magick-config, and possibly relies on its result (e.g. "Magick-config --cflags" or "Magick-config --libs").

Expected Results:

Build should fail due to missing Magick-config, not to missing (but expected) header files or libs.
