    (1) psion, librsvg & wmf are very unlikely to build (yet)
    (2) OpenWriter requires zipios++ - which you can't build? :-(
    (3) magick - I don't know what the missing library is, or where to get it,
        but it sounds like something wrong with the ImageMagick install...
    (4) gdict, if you don't have libgdict (get a CVS snapshot from my site:
        http://www.alinameridon.com/AbiWord/cvs) will probably complain about
        gtk headers. One way around this is to run configure like:

            CPPFLAGS="`gtk-config --cflags`" LDFLAGS="`gtk-config --libs`" \
                    ./configure --enable-gdict [other options]
