[Skencil-users] Odd behavior with upgrade to 0.6.17 and sklatex?

[W. Craig Carter]

With essential advice from Joe Biddier, I was able to to make the 
odd behavior go away.

I generally use fink to upgrade packages on MacOs 10+, but this 
won't work in this case.

Steps (Mac Os 10.4)
1. Upgraded Imagemagick from source ImageMagick-6.2.7
(used ./configure --prefix /sw/share). This step is probably not 
necessary.

2. Upgraded pstoedit from source pstoedit-3.44 (used sudo 
./configure --without-magick --without-emf --without-libplot 
--prefix /sw/share) Trying to compile with Imagemagick incurred 
compile errors regarding a long long typedef)



Thanks for the help. Craig
