The 6.2 package as installed would not process 
jpeg files, and after a lot of Googling I read 
that jpeg support had been dropped by the default 
install, and to get it back it was recommended to 
go back to a 5.x ImageMagick install.

I tried to locate an FC4 rpm, but could not, so I 
decided to take a shot at building it from source, 
which did work for jpeg, but not for tiff's.

I then found this in the config.log file after the 
buid:

configure:38414: checking tiff.h usability
configure:38426: gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall 
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 
-D_REENTRANT conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:148:18: error: tiff.h: No such file or 
directory

...and a similar line for tiffio.h

So I figured if I could locate these .h files and 
get them and whatever package they came with 
installed, recompile IM successfully, and I'd have 
a good chance at getting both tiff and jpeg support.

Sorry for not explaining that up front.
