Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".
I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5 with ImageMagick 6.2.8.0 and ImageMagick-devel 6.2.8.0. Two questions:
1.) What's the smoothest route to take to upgrade to the latest ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel? (details please)
2.) ImageMagick-devel-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm at ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... OS/x86_64/ is empty, why?
After upgrading to the latest ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel, I will want to use imagick (PHP extension) to create radial gradient images in PNG format and save them to disk.
Thank you
Nick
Edit: I uninstalled the outdated RedHat version of ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel and installed the latest version of those two programs using the RPM's at ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org.

If you find that the ImageMagick utilities are dog slow you may have a buggy libgomp implementation. In that case rebuild ImageMagick with this command
As an alternative to installing IM from source, are the RPM's (ImageMagick-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm and ImageMagick-devel-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm) also an option even though they are designed for CentOS? Thank you,
