Well, I just downloaded magic-7.2.49.tgz from Tim's web site and compiled on
both a RedHat8 and a RedHat9 system. This is the formula I used:

from /home/cad
tar -xvzf magic-7.2.49.tgz
cd magic-7.2.49
cd scripts
./configure --with-tcl --with-open-gl
cd ..
make tcl
make install-tcl


At this point, there was a new magic directory in /usr/local/lib and a new
magic executable in /usr/local/bin. I could invoke 'magic -w' and see that
the compilation date was this morning. So, from that I would declare success
with magic-7.2.49.

On the "be aware" front, I suspect that those of us that have /home/cad and
a /home/cad/lib, /home/cad/bin with a $CAD_HOME have to accept the fact that
there are some rocks in the magic road as we wean our way from 'make config'
to './configure'. I have found that I need to be very particular to ensure
that files I think are being read or executed are really not others in a
different place on the computer. I would not be at all surprised if this is
some of the current compilation issue we are having.

In any case, I'm off to study Tim's magic 7.3.

With highest regards, Charles
