Just for everyone's information: The reason that software usually does not=
=20
link in the graphviz libraries is that the software license of graphviz is=
=20
incompatible with the GPL. ImageMagick has its own license (which is deemed=
=20
GPL-compatible) that might allow such linkage, but a so-linked ImageMagick=
=20
(and its shared libraries) might in turn become incompatible with other=20
GPL-licensed software (though I'm not sure about this).

Cheers,
