By default, ImageMagick builds for the system directories in /usr/local which you do not have permission to write in. Instead, configure with the --disable-installed option. Add --disable-shared if you don't want to bother with shared libraries. If all else fails, you can try the Fedora pre-compiled binaries available here: ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/linux
