I installed ImageMagick on CentOS 6.3 using yum.
yum -y install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel
yum -y install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
Check the version and path of identify and convert to confirm the installation.
# identify -version

For CentOS 5 systems and similar, it seems better to install from source files.
That’s all from the Gemba.
