[Koha-devel] Image/Graphics Magick confusion

[Joe Atzberger]

Yeah, the whole point of preferring distro packages is for binaries and
distro-specific configs.  Any decent image manipulation components will rely
on binary code for performance.  Unfortunately, too many CPAN modules fail
to build XS correctly on a given platform (including debian, historically),
hence the distro package approach.

What kind of complication are you seeing?
