Hi Managers,

tru64 5.1 DS10 600MHZ, 1280RAM.

I have upgraded a copy of imagemagick on the above server and receive
screen-fulls of unaligned access messages when I use some of the
command-line functions (convert). It has been suggested to me that
there may be a compiler options I could use that would suppress these
messages as they are cosmetic, not pretty but not fatal either.

I had a look at the cc man page and there are a few Data Alignment
options for cc that are used by default:
Data Alignment Options
       Defaults: -assume aligned_objects ,-member_alignment ,-
nomisalign

Does anyone know if I should be disabling some of these options? Can
anyone tell me how, I am not that savy with the C environment? I have
posted a notice to the bugs list for imagemagick in the hope that
future versions will account for this. In the mean time I would like
to remove these messages if possible.
Thanx.
Dp.
