Body To get the latest and greatest version of ImageMagick, you'll want to compile from source rather than using yum to update it. Don't worry, it's easy. Run these steps on your server: <pre><code>sudo su - # uninstall old ImageMagick yum remove ImageMagick # get new ImageMagick sources wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz # untar tar -zxvf ImageMagick*.tar.gz cd ImageMagick* # build and install ./configure make make install # test ImageMagick (should not report an error, may want to scp over and check that it is a valid image) convert logo: logo.png # fix problem with rmagick not finding ImageMagick libraries echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ImageMagick.conf ldconfig # update rmagick gem install rmagick # finally, test rmagick ruby -rrubygems -e "require 'RMagick2'; puts Magick::Long_version;"</code></pre>
