RMagick and ImageMagick on CentOS-5
I’ve run into this a couple of times: CentOS 5.x provides version ImageMagick-6.2.8.0–4.el5_1.1, more than a little out of date but good enough for most applications. The problem is that by default, RMagick insists on a newer release. Fortunately you can specifiy an older version of RMagick like this:
yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel
gem install rmagick –v 1.15.13 ––no–rdoc ––no–ri
