You shouldn’t be having these problems… I tried to search for nice, canned binaries of a current version of ImageMagick. I couldn’t find any that didn’t have odd prerequisites…
So I spun up a CentOS 6.3 virtual machine and built the newest ImageMagick SRPM file. You may want to enable the RepoForge repository (formerly RPMForge) as well. The build went without a hitch!
