Quoting Mikhail Teterin <mi@bonkers.video-collage.com> (from Mon, 21 =20 Apr 2008 13:00:39 -0400 (EDT)): >> the move of the place where the include directories are put breaks >> some configure scripts. Namely those which only have the possibility >> to specify the install prefix of the ImageMagick port. Those scripts >> will take install_location/include and install_location/lib >> automatically. This change now requires changes to such ports. > >> As I'm in the process of porting some software which depends upon >> ImageMagick, I downgraded for the moment to the previous version of >> ImageMagick to be able to work further on porting the software.

Thanks for describing the issue. It may be a good =20 idea to mention the change of the include path in UPDATING or CHANGES...
