I have already installed ImageMagick on my server which is running centos 6.4

yum install ImageMagick

Version is very old : 6.5.4-7 2012-05-07 Q16

I discussed about this with ImageMagick's official forum. They told i am running older version of ImageMagick.

With yum, we generally don't need to worry about dependencies. I created few scripts which are using the ImageMagick's latest version. But my server is running the older version to support those scripts.

1) So, If i remove the yum version of ImageMagick, which dependencies should be installed before compiling ImageMagick? The scripts which are running properly shouldn't get affected by this update.

2) Right now, /usr/bin/convert is the path. How do i compile keeping the same path? 

--prefix="/usr" (is it right?)

I don't have any test server. So, I need your help. I am windows(7) user!

  1. Install rpmbuild: yum install rpmbuild -y

  2. Install src.rpm from Fedora repo:

    rpm -Uvh "http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/source/SRPMS/i/ImageMagick-6.7.8.9-5.fc19.src.rpm"

  3. cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS

  4. Build package for your platform (replace x86_64 with i686 if you are running i686):

    rpmbuild --target x86_64 -ba ImageMagick.spec

  5. If there are any dependencies - rpmbuild will tell you about that, so install these packages with yum install

  6. Try to build it again:

    rpmbuild --target x86_64 -ba ImageMagick.spec

Result will be:

Install built packages with rpm -Uvh

I do this way and I don't have any problems so far. If you will encounter any problems - there will be deprecated functions or you need to rebuild packages which contain components built with ImageMagick-devel, not the ImageMagick.

Expected configuration will look like this:

                  Option                        Value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shared libraries  --enable-shared=yes           yes

GNU ld            --with-gnu-ld=yes             yes

ZLIB              --with-zlib=yes               yes

So, everything is built according to current system.

For the same (just rebuild), it's possible to run rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_64 ImageMagick-6.7.8.9-5.fc19.src.rpm - result will be same if you don't want to make any changes in the future.

I think this thread explains your requirements. Although the procedure is for CentOS 6.3 I wouldn't expect any serious problems to rebuild it on 6.4.
