I have installed Krita 1.6 from the Fedora Extras distribution for Fedora
Core 4. There is no option available for reading and writing SGI format
images. I have searched around and everything I have read seems
to indicate that this option should just be available. Documentation also
mentions the ability to load and save images via ImageMagick, which
I have installed, but I cannot find any way in Krita to do this. What
could I be missing?

I have downloaded the source rpm for GraphicsMagick-1.1.7-1 and
rebuilt and installed the GraphicsMagick and GraphicksMagic-c++
packages. I still can not find any way to load an SGI file or any
other GraphicsMagick-supported formats. There are no new options
in the Filter box of either the Open and Import dialog boxes. What
else could I be missing?

No, I hadn't. Since GraphicsMagick is not very widely used, I had assumed the
library would be detected dynamically. I very much appreciate the work that goes
into creating a package like Krita, but having to recompile KOffice, and therefore
lose automatic package updates through apt/yum, is going to be too time-consuming
of a compromise to work for me. I believe I will wait until either GraphicsMagick
appears in a distribution that I like, or until ImageMagick stabilies their API
enough for the Krita developers to switch back to it.

Thanks for your help.
