Installing Image Libraries

# apt-get install libjpeg62-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev

Alternatively the following should install everything needed by ImageMagick:

# apt-get build-dep imagemagick

I think its a good idea to remove the apt-get installed version of ImageMagick, if indeed it exists:

# apt-get remove imagemagick

Don't worry about Ghostscript, if gslib is unavailable it will fall back on the Ghostscript binary.

Installation

$ gunzip -c ImageMagick-6.x.x.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd ImageMagick-6.x.x
$ ./configure --without-x
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
$ ldconfig /usr/local/lib

To make ldconfig remember this change permanently, simply add "/usr/local/lib" to "/etc/ld.so.conf"
