Do you know exactly what Koha 3.4 is looking for?  Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)
has a partial version of GraphicsMagick 1.3.12 (at least enough to run Koha
3.2); 3.4 install is looking for GraphicsMagick 1.3.5 which has warnings of
being unstable on Ubuntu [1] and does not install direct from the tarball
[2] (I could probably, if it's important enough, find a work around in the
makefile.)

I think its fairly safe to say that any version 1.3.5 or newer should work just fine. The general consensus tends to be a little conservative about upping required versions in Koha often preferring to reflect the minimum required version rather than the latest stable release.
 

Anyway, I'm a little bit loath to force an install of ~96 Mb of code if the
functional impact on Koha 3.4 is minimal, or could be fixed with just a
couple of lines somewhere else.

Any thoughts, please?


None of the labels/patron card features will work w/o G::M. Beyond that, I'm not sure, but don't think much else would be affected.

Kind Regards,
