[TYPO3] Getting GraphicsMagick Installed

[Gerri Tomlinson]

Hi y'all,

I have several versions of typo3 running on a Fedora 4 server.  All of them 
have independent GraphicsMagick-1.1.6 installs without probs.

I've installed typo3 v4.1 and I just can't get it to work.  It's something 
that I've missed but I just can't think what and I've been tearing my hair 
out for a couple of weeks over this now )-:

Symptoms are...
Using the install tool I enter the path of the installation and press send. 
The install tool accepts a valid gm install, I select the same install from 
the dropdown box towards the bottom of the page and then click on "Update 
localconf.php".  I get the usual messages to say localconf.php is being 
updated (and in fact I see the entries in the file) but on returning to the 
Basic Configuration page, the settings are lost and typo3 defaults back to 
/usr/bin.  As you would expect, all of the Image Tests are skipped.

The same behaviour happens with both ImageMagick 4.2.9 and 
GraphicsMagick-1.1.7.  I also tried different versions of typo, 4.0.5 and 
3.8.1.  Permissions are the same as on working installs and open_basedir is 
off.  The only thing was to hardcode the path of gm into 
t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php but this caused major caching issues.

Is there anything else that can be checked?  Has anyone else experienced 
this?

All help is greatly appreciated

Gerri
