Thanks so much- I also had ImageMagick installed for a perl/LAMP environment, and had to setup for Rails. So glad I found your post!

Hello Ramon,

Thanks for the follow up. I have had to install newer ImageMagick versions in the past for various projects and yeah it is a little bit more of a pain installing/upgrading outside of yum but guess we have to do what we have to do. :) Regardless I am glad you got it taken care of. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Thanks.

CentOS 5.5 – so I thought the OS being old wasn’t an issue :) I followed http://rha7dotcom.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-install-imagemagick-and-rmagick.html to get it installed instead, but I understand that it will be more difficult for me to update it in the future.

Hello Ramon,

What based OS are you running? My current ImageMagick version on the server above is only 6.3.5.9-1 and as you see above it installed fine on the server above.

Thanks,

How did you install a late version of ImageMagick? When I install rmagick, it complains that I have an old version of ImageMagick (which I installed via yum).

sudo gem install rmagick gives me this, among other errors:
“Can’t install RMagick 2.13.1. You must have ImageMagick 6.4.9 or later.”
