What I did:

Put the source tarball in a directory that contained spaces in its name (e.g: "A B")
Extracted
./configure
make

What I expected:

Successful make

What I got:

Error and failure to make

Change I made:

Renamed the directory to not contain spaces

What I got:

ImageMagick compiled fine

The developers might want to know the first error that was raised. Also your platform (Linix, Max, Windows, whatever) and version of IM.

Did you put quotes around the directory whose name had spaced, when you reference it?
