Subject: rmagick and debian unstable

Anyone use new rmagick on debian unstable (sid)?  via gems?

Trying to do a naive gem install, resulted in borkage.  Trying from
source, seemed to result in same borkage.  (./configure --without-perl
--without-magick-plus-plus --enable-shared --disable-static)  btw,
there wasn't a pretty summary at the end like README.txt seemed to
indicate.  has this been removed? (could possibly be prevented by
these errors, too).

I haven't looked in depth (hoping someone might have an idea to save
me some time).   Versions are:
%  Magick-config --version
6.2.3
% ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2005-04-11) [i386-linux]

and the 1.8.3 release of rmagick (gem and .tgz)

There are compile errors, but it seems to be based on: 

checking magick/api.h usability... no
checking magick/api.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: in the future, the compiler will
take precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to rmagick@rubyforge.org ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for magick/api.h... yes

A longer error list from the gem up until a ^C can be found at:

TIA!
