Q-7.11 is incompatible with ImageMagick now

Indeed. The following #define's (pilfered from http://www.ysnb.net/meadow/meadow-develop/2002/msg01069.html\) may help; they are to be added to magick.c. This assumes that your ImageMagick library was built with 16 bit color depth. Can you please try whether this works for you?
#define ScaleQuantumToShort(quantum) ((unsigned short) (quantum))
#define ScaleShortToQuantum(value) ((Quantum) (value))
Other than that, I can only suggest to try Pure (Q's successor, available at http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/\). Pure doesn't have an ImageMagick module right now, but it's very easy to build one using the pure-gen interface generator. Actually I have already done this, I just haven't released it (yet). Just let me know if I should send it to you.
Well, this seems to work, thank you. I think one probably need to bother with GetMagickQuantumDepth / SetQuantumDepth to make play more fair.
Does the advice about your new language mean that you have abandoned the Q development in favor of Pure? I have an intention to bring back Q and it's library collection to my Linux distribution (they were occasionally dropped one day). But now it looks like Pure is better and more vivid specimen, doesn't it?

Right. If you can put together a patch, please toss it my way so that I can commit it. Thanks.

Certainly. Q doesn't support 64 bit architectures, and it runs much slower. Pure fully supports 64 bit, has a JIT compiler, and interfacing to C is much easier. Also, the built-in matrix type makes working with raw pixel or audio data a breeze. Packages and ports are already available for OSX and SUSE Linux, Fedora is in the works. In a sense, Pure *is* the next version of Q, so this is where all the action is now. If you're interested in Q then you should definitely take a look at it. There's also a mailing list/Google group at http://groups.google.com/group/pure-lang.
