I installed ImageMagick from source per their instructions since they didn't have a matching version for our OS.

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php

However, I ran make check and it passes everything up to tests/validate-stream.tap 1, and then it just stops there. I've left it sitting for half an hour and I have to Ctrl+c to get out. What am I doing wrong? What's the best way to uninstall and which version should I be using for CentOS 6.3?

Uninstall

If your build never reached the make install phase, then no files should have been added to the OS. The prefix you used during your configure should specify where files were placed. If you left it as default, the likely location is /usr/local/bin for ImageMagick binaries.

I recommend using 3rd party RPM repos as a last resort. If the version included in your OS will work, then use it.

Install

To install a newer version, consider using RPMForge or RPmfind. This an other 3rd party RPM repositories often provider newer versions than included with the OS.

RPM search sites like rpmfind.net and pbone.net can help you find 3rd party RPMS.

If you cannot find something, then build your own RPMs.

Install recent ImageMagick on CentOS 6.3
