Install ImageMagick from Unix Source

ImageMagick builds on a variety of Unix and Unix-like operating systems including Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and others. A compiler is required and fortunately almost all modern Unix systems have one. Download ImageMagick.tar.gz from ftp.imagemagick.org or a mirrors and verify its message digest.

Unpack the distribution with this command:
Quote : $root> tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz

Next configure and compile ImageMagick:
Qoute : $root> cd ImageMagick-6.4.9
Quote : $root> ./configure
Quote : $root> make

If ImageMagick configured and compiled without complaint, you are ready to install it on your system. Administrator privileges are required to install. To install, type
Quote : $root> make install

Finally, verify the ImageMagick install worked properly, type
Quote : $root> /usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif

For a more comprehensive test, run the ImageMagick validation suite:
Quote : $root> make check

Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.

Enjoy ubuntu... ;)
