How to Install or Update ImageMagick

From ReduxWiki

[edit] Installation

ImageMagick is one of the more popular, borderlining neccessary additions to most cPanel servers, yet it does not come installed by default..

1. mkdir /home/src
2. cd /home/src
3. wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.5.7-17.tar.gz
4. tar xvzf ImageMagick-5.5.7-17.tar.gz
5. cd ImageMagick-5.5.7
6. ./configure
7. make
8. make install
9. cd PerlMagick
10. perl Makefile.PL
11. make
12. make install

[edit] Updating

This a revised version of another ImageMagick faq, as problems have been found on RedHat 8/9 boxes when using that one, particularly if the ImageMagick rpms were installed. Here is what was done...

1. rpm -e ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
2. cd /usr/src
3. wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.0.1-1.tar.gz
4. tar xvzf ImageMagick-6.0.1-1.tar.gz
5. cd ImageMagick-6.0.1
6. ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr
7. make all
8. make install
9. cd PerlMagick
10. perl Makefile.PL
11. make
12. make install
