The problem wouldn't appear to be with the libs that you suggest look to be
weird. I don't know what they are either, but configure thinks I need them.
It may come up again later and be something to take a look at. Thanks.

 ** See my last post **

I have both libMagick.a libMagick.dll.a. I don't know what MakeMaker is or
how to use it or how to fix it if it's broken. Based on it's name however, I
can guess. I'll look into this. Maybe I just made it compile but it won't
actually be of any use once I start doing the perl. I'll trudge forward
until the next issue comes up.

Thanks,

Bill
