Hi there, My server runs CentOS5.. for which there are no IM binaries. When I first set up the server I used rpmbuild --rebuild on the ImageMagick.src.rpm. This worked wonderfully. However, now that I need to upgrade ImageMagick, my process isn't working... (something about prelink -u on the rpm breaking rebuild, or vice versa - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218222) .
I'm not a "make" guru.. I'm honestly clueless when it comes to the nitty gritty of Unix appliation installation (why does it have to be so complicated). I've tried installing ImageMagick from source before manually and I've never succeeded... not once, even when following the instructions for Advanced Installation. There's always some undocumented gotcha, due to system difference. There's always a trillion dependancies that fail and I'm never sure where the files end up or how to actually register them with the system so that all the libraries link up together. What I really need is a simple way for me to keep my ImageMagic installation up to date. What woudl be even better is if there was a way to install multiple versions in different locations, so that if a feature breaks in a newer version, I can just point the app back to the old version without pulling out all my hair. Is this possible? Can you help?
