kallery and version of imagemagick

[Robert Kratky]

hi,
this has been already solved. i got an explanation directly from the 
author of kallery.

-- i've got imagemagick installed in usual locations -- this weird 
'/home/cristo' thing is what the configure script came up with - 
nevertheless the script sees it, knows about it, uses it, yet the 
problem lies, as james pointed out, in the not so correct error message. 
imagemagick 5.5.1 is so much changed that the script doesn't recognize 
it as 'compatible' with 5.4.5 and therefore prints a message about a 
wrong version. it just doesn't suspect the version could be _higher_ not 
lower.

thanks anyway.
