I already have GraphicsMagick installed on my system (from Debian
repositories) but it's compiled with quantum 8. I want to keep this
system installation since other applications depend on it. Is there a
more "common" location for user-wide installations?

All I know is that I had to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS with:
CPPFLAGS=-I/home/carandraug/.bin/gm/include/GraphicsMagick
LDFLAGS=-L/home/carandraug/.bin/gm/lib/GraphicsMagick-1.3.14

It is also supposed to use pkg-config but setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH
didn't work either

After I have edited the PATH and both CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
configuring octave worked fine. However, when running make it default
back to the system installation of GraphicsMagick. I looked at the
Makefile being generated and I think I have found the problem. This
seems to be a bug on their configure script so I'll follow it there.

Thank you very much for your help,
