This error message is regarding the file 'xc.la' rather than
modules.mgk.  The modules.mgk file has been moved to a 'config'
subdirectory so all configuration files are in one place.  It is not
responsible for this problem.

When you configured the software did you configure it for a modules
build, "moby" build, or a static build?

Can you send the output of

  gm -version

?

It seems like there are no modules installed.  This would be the case
for the "moby" or static build.  The static build should not be
looking for modules at all.  The "moby" build will check for existing
modules, but the GM modules are embedded in libGraphicsMagick.so.

It seems like you have overlapping installs.  It could be that there
is a bug in the software, or it could be that a pre-existing library
is being used rather than the one you just installed.
