Linux Install on Perlmagik for 6.0.7

[anthony]

perlmagick should be installable via the CentOS yum archives.

Also some of the later (not the latest) fedora RPMs should be directly installable under CentOS. You will however have to download and install the RPM's yourself.

The redhat/fedora people generally do not update their ImageMagcik RPM's beyond the requirements of an initial OS release. It is a pain, but that is what happens.

You best bet for a even more modern version is to download the SRPM (source RPM) package of Imagemagick form the fedora archives, and attempt to build the RPM's to install from that.
The RPM's can even be compiled and built without root privilages, they only need root prevalages for the final install.

I have some notes on this in IM Examples, API's and Scripting,
Building ImageMagick RPMs for linux from SRPMs
http://imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building

The latest releases of IM has also bee fixed to build RPM's properly for the latest Fedora OS's
