YAIEM: Do not assume that the error message states the correct reason 
for the error.

Note that you appear to have ImageMagick installed in a very odd place. 
  If that is not where it is installed, then that is the problem.

If this is your machine -- if you have super user privilege -- the 
normal place to install ImageMagick, or most things, is with the prefix: 
"/usr/local".  Be sure that: PREFIX/bin is on your path.

If you have something in an odd place, you MUST tell the: "configure" 
script where it is.  AND, the "lib" directory MUST be registered with 
LD.SO.  Put the path (ending with "lib") in the: "/etc/ld.so.conf" file 
and [as root] run: ldconfig.

It is also possible that with an odd location the: "configure" script 
simply won't work.
