just downloaded 0.7.1, applied the patch, still not working

- configures and installs just fine (except, see note and question below)

- tried to run, and got this:

# wvHtml fcc.doc fcc.html
Diagnostic: (text.c:915)  Diagnostic: (text.c:865)  Bus Error

---
note and question re. requirements:

- I'm installing on a remote Solaris box, primarily telnet access, so my
main interest is reading the text in word documents that come in via email
(e.g. via pine)

- the download web site says that "All that is required is the source" and
goes on to suggest installing zlib, png and ImageMagick -- I have zlib and
png installed, but ImageMagick doesn't want to build, and since I'm not
interested in graphics, I haven't tried to debug this yet

- the INSTALL file says to install zlib,libwmf,freetype, png and
ImageMagick - but I haven't yet installed libwmf or freetype

when I configure, I get the message:
configure: warning: libwv will not have wmf to png support: see README

Might this be related to the problem I'm encountering?

Thanks,

Miles Fidelman
