sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
sudo apt-get install imagemagick librmagick-ruby1.8 librmagick-ruby-doc libfreetype6-dev xml-core -y

so now it’s done.
Unfortunately during one of my instalations, I ran into a problem where the delegate libraries for jpg, png, etc where not being picked up. ex:

convert -list configure

The solution for this is to install Imagemagick by hand, ex:

mkdir source
cd source
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.6.5-8
./configure --disable-shared
make
sudo make install

and now you should be able to use the identify or the convert command successfully on your image files.

First, install some needed libraries with yum:

sudo yum install tcl-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel ghostscript-devel bzip2-devel freetype-devel libtiff-devel

Then create a directory and download the latest source.

mkdir sources
cd /sources
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.6.7-0.tar.gz

Untar the compressed file and compile it using dark magic:

tar zxvf ImageMagick-6.6.7-0.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.6.7-0
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-bzlib=yes --with-fontconfig=yes --with-freetype=yes --with-gslib=yes --with-gvc=yes --with-jpeg=yes --with-jp2=yes --with-png=yes --with-tiff=yes
make clean
make
sudo make install

grab a coffee while it’s doing it’s work and that’s it.

To test if it works run:

run identify -version

and it should confirm that it’s installed.

First install some needed libraries for dev:

sudo yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel cpio expat-devel gettext-devel

Create a directory, switch to it and download the latest git source.

mkdir sources
cd /sources
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.6.tar.gz

Untar the compressed file, switch to the folder and compile it manually.

tar xvzf git-1.6.6.tar.gz
cd git-1.6.6
./configure
make
sudo make install

and that’s it. Now, something as simple as:

mkdir testgit
cd testgit
git init

should work and you just created your first local repository.
