Interesting. You are using --with-image-ppm with EBTKS and it builds
correctly? With some combinations I have seen it build but fail
silently and just not include the ppm part in EBTKS at which point you
only notice something has broken with bicpl.

I have just dug out my old prereq file. Seems there was a change.

ubuntu-maverick: libnetcdf-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libnetpbm9-dev
fftw-dev libgsl0-dev libgetopt-tabular-perl libmni-perllib-perl
libxext-dev glutg3-dev imagemagick libtext-format-perl

ubuntu-precise: libnetcdf-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libnetpbm10-dev
fftw-dev libgsl0-dev libgetopt-tabular-perl libmni-perllib-perl
libxext-dev imagemagick libtext-format-perl freeglut3-dev

Note the change libnetpbm9-dev to libnetpbm10-dev.
