Is there any relative option available on ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2012-05-07 Q16 for `-morphology'
my yum repo does not have update for newer version of imagemagick.

The changelog says that version is over four years old.

if i remove the yum version of imagemagick, how do i install Imagemagick with all dependencies in the same path?
my convert path is /usr/bin/convert

IM 6.5.4.7 only had limited -morphology functions. search the changelog for morphology. see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php

Without a RPM, that is a hard task. You have to install each delegate library and be sure that it installed, since many delegates need dependencies that have to be installed first. Once you have all delegates installed, then you can install IM from source. See

Can you name the dependencies? Or have you written any tutorial on your site about installing ImageMagick?

will it work?

I use a Mac and install all the delegates I need using MacPorts, then install IM from source. So I do not know much about Linux.

I found the easiest way is to install the normal ImageMagick-develop RPM, then remove it.
That will get you most if the dependancys you need to build your own RPM.
