[Wampanoag]

Several successful install of IM 6.3.5 or later determine to suit my requirements extremely well. In view of the fact that the version or description of ImageMagick in the yum repositories was limited to version 6.2.8, I tried to install 6.4.2 from its rpm.

You can utilize rpmbuild and build from the ImageMagick source RPM. That determines to adapt the ImageMagick arrangement to your host surroundings. Had a crazy thought and it might presently have worked. I come into view to be capable to successfully build ImageMagick 6.4.6-3 on my system alright for a number of reasons and it seems to be running on there. On the other hand I do not imagine that was the difficulty anyway so back to the drawing board/banging my head against the system.

This worked for me

Get the proper version of rpmforge
http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/

The download the binary rpm from Imagemagic.org and use yum to install. Yum will install the required files.

wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/...6.3-7.i386.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall ImageMagick-6.6.3-7.i386.rpm

If you want to have yum install the required source files use the same
yum localinstall /path/to/src.rpm
