Unfortunately IM is not working. I seems that the old IM files outside
the exec_dir are recognized by the install tool but this was only a
weird phenomenom and they will disappear when I save the settings.

I wonder if I really need symlinks because ImageMagick is already inside
the safe_mode_exec_dir. Does ist make sense to point from for example
the home directory to the exec_dir?

I have Typo3 3.7.0 on Unix/Solaris
