I posted to the Inkscape User list yesterday regarding missing raster effects from the effects menu (If it appears like I've cross-posted I apologize) but I'm not sure the User list was the appropriate place afterall. Doing some investigative work I figured I would uninstall Inkscape 0.46 on my Ubuntu 9.04 box and compile it from scratch. I noticed that when I run the ./configure it will not find Imagemagick even though I have it installed along with the development package for it. Perhaps this is what is preventing the raster effects from being displayed in the effects menu. Some of you that are running Ubuntu 9.04...have you noticed any of these issues? I'm not exactly sure what I need to do detect Imagemagick. I have not compiled the stable version of Inkscape before. I get that straight from the repos along with all of the other Inkscape dependencies. As a side note I have compiled a recent snapshot of 0.46+devel and the raster effects do display but none of them are working. I would appreciate any help. I'll keep plugging away in the meantime. :) heathenx Here is the output of ./configure: heathenx@...2195...:~/inkscape-0.46$ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking how to create a pax tar archive... gnutar checking for style of include used by make...
