Need help with custom install of ImageMagick package

general

Hi All,

I need to install IMageMagick on Centos 6 in a custom path. Therefore I am not using an .rpm or yum.

Looking at the instructions here http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar … s.php#unix">http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#unix

The step for custom install path says

tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz

none of the ImageMagick.tar.gz packages available here, correspond to the official install instructions for installing to the custom path http://www.imagemagick.org/download/

The packages available for downloading are missing the bin and lib folders which are described in the next steps where they need to be added to the environment variables $PATH and $LDLIBRARYPATH

Can someone point me in the right direction in order to install ImageMagick to custom path.

Thanks in advance.

Can't you just install from rpm, then create symlinks to binaries wherever you need them?

No. RPMs are not possible on this server. The only thing I can do with an .rpm is extract it using rpmcpo command. I allready tried extracting the .rpm, then adding the extracted bin and lib folders to $PATH and $LDLIBRARYPATH but it doesnt fully work. I can run convert command if I dont specify any options. Howefer, if I add options to convert command for example 'convert image.png image.jpg' then I get errors complaining 'could not open delegates.xml'

This might provide a little help:
