This is the error I get when I try to make...


make all-am

Please help.

If you not need PerlMagick (Perl interface to ImageMagick) type

• make -k -i install

If you do need PerlMagick you may need to install the Perl and / or Perl developer RPM and try again.

I solved my own problem by running sudo apt-get install libperl-dev
