Description

The existing BLFS instructions do not work with newer versions of ImageMagick.

Latest is: ImageMagick-6.3.2-7 (19.02.2007)

First problem: there is no utilities/ImageMagick.1 anymore before you run configure (only ImageMagick.1.in) Second problem: if you run the sed trick afterwards configure, the manpage is still UTF-8 and not ASCII as expected

As for ImageMagick-6.3.2-8, the UTF-8 issue with "Bézier curves" is now over-fixed (so that groff prints \['e] instead of é - BTW the previous fix was wrong, as it produced warning: can't find special character `'e' in some locales), and a new one (with "ImageMagick®") is introduced.

Thus, please apply the following sed:

sed -i -e "s/\xc2\xae/\\\[rg\]/g" -e "s/B...'e./Be/" utilities/ImageMagick.1.in

Alexander I tested your new sed with ImageMagick-6.3.2-8 and it works.

Thank you very much.
