Actually, it runs great on the Raq4i I have.  You do need X to compile
it though.  I don't have a pkg file, but I did install it by finding an
older RPM for RedHat 6.2.

The trick is to just find a version that supports the GD library that
you have on your system.  I think I originally used ImageMagick-4.2.7-1
that I found on rpmfind.net.

I've since gotten 5.4.2, but I seem to remember it took a bit of effort.
