I, just two days ago followed the instructions from
http://www.uk2raq.com/raqfaq/raqfaqshow.php?faq=87 and had no problems.

I use the mogrify feature of it all the time, without any problems on a
RaQ4i.

**Due to the instructions being copyrighted I do not wish to re-post them
all here.**

Follow all the instructions posted and substitute the following commands.

Instead of
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/imageMagick-5.3.9.tar.gz

do
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.4.4-5.tar.gz

(Gets you the latest version)

Instead of
tar -zxvf ImageMagick-5.3.9.tar.gz

do
tar -zxvf ImageMagick-5.4.4-5.tar.gz

Instead of
cd ImageMagick-5.3.9

do
cd ImageMagick-5.4.4-5

and use the same .configure method.
make
make install

Be warned the source is very large, and takes a while to compile on a RaQ4i.

I found that with the source and the compiled binaries on the / partition it
filled my drive to 98%, after deleting the source from /usr/local/download
this went down to 84% .. so be warned :-)
