Polytropon,
Thank you for sharing this advice. I have recompiled ImageMagick with
the djvu capability and had to include [x] for threads and it works
well. I have to use the [space bar] to change pages, but I don't know
which key to use to return one page back. Otherwise it works and no
need to use evince :)
Best Regards,
Antonio
