Hello,

I'm wanting to try out pythonMagick, but am pretty lost with this whole thing.
What I'm wanting to do is view EPS and PDF files with Python and be able to
zoom into the images to see smaller detail.

I downloaded PythonMagick-0.9.1.tar and have been looking through that
folder. The README file says:

-------------
Requists for installation is:
boost
boost-python
python 2.5
Magick++ (>= 6.2)

and for building:
pkg-config
libtool
make

and for generation build scripts is defined in autogen.pl

Building:
../configure
make
make install
-------------

What's this 'boost' stuff and Magick++? Do I need to install
more things to make this work? I was going to run '.configure',
then 'make' and then 'make install' from the command-line,
but want to make sure I know what I'm doing before installing
something (especially if it won't work). Can anyone give me
more info about pythonMagick or send me a link to a site(s)
that has more info?

Thanks!

Jay
