Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to install ImageMagic. To install it run the following commands:
# mkdir /home/src
# cd /home/src
# wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.7.9-0.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf ImageMagick-6.7.9-0.tar.gz
# cd ImageMagick-6.7.9-0
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# cd PerlMagick
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make install
That should be it, if by any chance you have a problem with a 64 bit OS and WHM can not find imagick then install it manually, use hints below.
First, install ImageMagick-devel
# yum -y install ImageMagick-devel
Assuming ImageMagick-devel is installed, you need to download the Imagick PHP extensions, located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
Latest version, as of this post, is imagick-2.2.0
# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-2.2.0.tgz
# tar -zxvf imagick-2.2.0 .tgz
while in the home directory (don’t type the quotes)
Then type the following commands:
# cd imagick-2.2.0
# phpize
# ./configure
# make
# make install
Now go back into WHM and try to activate imagick again
Installation:
ImageMagick
Check first if it’s installed:
# /scripts/checkimagemagick
Proceed with Installation:
# /scripts/installimagemagick
Installation will take a couple minutes as it will install other packages needed by ImageMagick. After the installation, you can check your ImageMagick version:
# /usr/bin/convert --version
The following entry will appear:
Version: ImageMagick 6.4.8 2009-05-11 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
