[OZAPRS] Xastir maps... again

[Marcus B]

It doesn't look like this has been solved, and I had this exact
problem the other day.

I solved it by installing the ImageMagick package as the script
requires the "identify" program (I'm glad I know perl).

Very silly error for a required program being missing, oh well :-/

If you have ImageMagick installed, try running the identify program by
itself, you should get something like this:

[13:20:00 pts/7] mabs at whitestar:~/tmp/xastir$ identify
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 12/13/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Usage: identify [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ... ]
