Re: [Bug-gnupod] artwork support apparently (but not really) broken on ubuntu

Hello Henrik,

The behaviour is not "intended" as you so nicely put it.
It is/was a bug and has been corrected in the 6.4.9-9 version.
From the ChangeLog:

2009-03-01  6.4.9-9 Cristy  <address@hidden>
  * Convert returns MagickFalse for the -version option (reference 
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13230).


I think "conversion -version" is a correct way to check whether 
ImageMagick is installed.
autoconf contains a macro AC_PATH_PROG that checks the existence of the 
executable
But there is no predefined macro as far as I can see that checks whether 
a particular version is installed

However I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the IMAGIC 
variable.
It seems indeed unused elsewhere.
I'll try to figure that out next

a+
