Greetings,
I read through a lot of posts to get through this install. Ended up that 90% of what I tried never worked but I finally found the way and thought I would share what I had to do to get ImageMagick to install nice and clean on my Redhat9.0 server.
First, after reading numerous posts from multiple forums, I had a lot of reservation concerning the required libraries. Initial failed tries revealed I was also at the mercy of the libs.
To remedy the library problem , I installed the latest XFree86 X11/X11R6 v4.4.0. The install via the Xinstall.sh made it super easy!
Information can be located at: http://xfree86.org/4.4.0/Install3.html
X11/X11R6 binaries location (VALID as of 22Aug2004) ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries
To get started, cd to a location you do your installs from:
It is important to know what binary distribution you are using. (Links in code - VALID as of 22Aug2004)
In this case, I need the glicbc23 data. (Links in code - VALID as of 22Aug2004)
Now, we are ready to install. Be sure to use the link reference above for the install instruction.
You are on your own at this point. I chose all the defaults and pressed on. The additional .tgz files that were downloaded are optional.
Refer to the install doc for info to for X server configuration, if used.
After install is done, you might want to reboot...your choice
Now, I had to locate the X11R6 library
Next, add info to configuration to /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/configure.php
Make sure to ./build php!!!
Finally, ready to install ImageMagick!
Go back to the directory you do your installs from for SRC.
NOTE! I found this process to be very strange because I was under the understanding when a SRC.RPM file was rebuilt it would rebuild the file as a .RPM to which you do an RPM install.
Not this time!
Resource Location: http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/SRPMS/ImageMagick-6.0.5-3.src.rpm(VALID as of 22Aug2004)
Now, this is where things got wierd. Normally, the rebuilt rpm will be put in /usr/src/redhat/RPM/.
Not me...when the process was done, I located ImageMagick-6.0.5-3 in /usr/src/redhad/BUILD/ImageMagick-6.0.5-3
So...instead of trying to figure out why it did this, I resorted to an set of instructions for ImageMagick installation. Build instructions found here: http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/www/install.html(VALID as of 22Aug2004)
Change directories and proceed.
You will need to remember where the X11R6 location is for the configure
At this point, I rebooted the server and took at look at my info.php file and found ImageMagick listed under PHP variables.
I am a beginner here so if there are any problems, I couldn't answer it. Also, I am sure there is a better way. I can tell you I tried several packages and methods. This is the only one that worked cleanly.
Hope this helps someone...

Checking which OS you're running...

binaries for your platform are not available from XFree86.org.
