Please don't blame the wrong people here. ImageMagick is one of the coolest tools around. Yes, compiling it is not always easy, but it is *free*. If you need an installer, build one for yourself. (Hint: Build from source, and build all packages you depend on (all the image libraries) from source. That way, everything will run smoothly, in my experience (all hail configure!). It is the prepacked distribution stuff (rpm and friends), that leaves out headers and documentation and other random stuff, that screws you.)
