Comment 3 for bug 1282851

Here it goes (and sorry for the mess!):

## Before symlinking the libraries, see comment at bottom ##
j:0 ~ > apt-cache policy emacs24
emacs24:
  Installed: 24.3+1-2~ppa1~precise1
  Candidate: 24.3+1-2~ppa1~precise1
  Version table:
 *** 24.3+1-2~ppa1~precise1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/cassou/emacs/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

j:0 ~ > apt-cache policy libmagickwand5
N: Unable to locate package libmagickwand5

j:0 ~ > lsb_release -c
Codename: luna <--- (Precise Pangolin)

j:0 ~ > emacs -Q
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickWand.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now, it's weird I can't find anywhere here at Launchpad the comment I posted right next to my above mentioned report where I stated that symlinking "ln -s /usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.5 /usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.4" and "ln -s /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so.5 /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so.4" (as seen on this VectorLinux forum post: http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?topic=15913.msg100288#msg100288) solves the issue!

## After symlinking above libraries ##
j:0 ~ > emacs -Q
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

(That is, opens Emacs in a buffer as expected...)

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!
