Installing Imagemagick Rmagick on RHEL 5.0 4

Posted by Joel Jensen Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:47:00 GMT 

Don't even go there.

Wait, I have to.

Ok, Yum wont work, the version of ImageMagick and graphics magick that it installs is ancient, and wont work with ruby later than 1.8.5

You need to compile from source.

heres how

sudo yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel glib2-devel fontconfig-devel zlib-devel libwmf-devel freetype-devel libtiff-devel
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/legacy/ImageMagick-6.5.0-10.tar.gz
tar -xzf ImageMagick-6.5.0-10.tar.gz 
cd ImageMagick-6.5.0-10
./configure --disable-static --with-modules --without-perl      --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8 
make
sudo make install
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/Magick-config 
sudo gem install rmagick

    Yahoo help states that it supports imagemagick, but i wonder if this means it is already installed and available on every of their web hosting accounts. Thanks
