Marco, A recent discussion on Fedora's devel list has brought to my attention that ImageMagick 7 would be incompatible with 6 not only wrt API/ABI but also wrt CLI (affecting scripts etc.). It would seem prudent to stick with the 6 series for the time being until the Linux distributions sort this out. If you concur, would you mind updating ImageMagick to the latest 6.9 release? It seems to be somewhat behind at the moment. -- Yaakov
