21 I asked questions about all those -l options that include libraries -
22 but which libraries have to be included while linking the Magick.so of
23 the perl-module highly depends on the use-flags.

25 So you didn't answer the question. That you were the
26 PerlMagick-maintainer for a log time - well - as long as nobody
27 complains, i wouldn't look at the command line with which Magick.so is
28 linked, too. So i guess you just don't know what i'm talking about.
