To install imagemagick with PHP imagick extension on Linux CentOS you must follow these steps:
yum install ImageMagick.i386
yum install ImageMagick-devel.i386
pecl install imagick
If you have an error like this:
root@myhost [~]# pecl install imagick
downloading imagick-3.0.1.tgz ...
Starting to download imagick-3.0.1.tgz (93,920 bytes)
.....................done: 93,920 bytes
13 source files, building
running: phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20090626
Zend Module Api No: 20090626
Zend Extension Api No: 220090626
Please provide the prefix of Imagemagick installation [autodetect] :
building in /var/tmp/pear-build-root/imagick-3.0.1
running: /root/tmp/pear/imagick/configure --with-imagick
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed
checking for cc... cc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
ERROR: `/root/tmp/pear/imagick/configure --with-imagick' failed
Look at your /tmp folder… pretty surely it is mounted with noexec flag. Remount it without noexec and retry:
mount -o remount,rw /tmp
At the end of the installation, create an inclusion file for imagick.so module and restart apache:
echo "extension=imagick.so" > /etc/php.d/imagick.ini
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Test the correct loading of the imagick module with:
php -m | grep imagick

Virtual server like Aruba’s are configured with Centos without yum and without php-pear. Today I’ve done an assistance to a server of my customer that needed pear installation. It’s quite simple to make all work but I don’t understand why Aruba’s staff have not decided to include yum in their own default configuration server…
Shall we start installing yum:
mkdir /root/matteo && cd /root/matteo

rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.22-26.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
yum -y update
Now it’s time to install php-pear:
yum install php-pear*
Ok, in every virtual-host of Plesk (/var/www/vhosts/example.com/conf/httpd.include), there is the directive open_basedir that must be configured in the right way adding the pear path:
php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/local/PEAR"
We must also configure pear in /etc/php.ini
include_path=".:/usr/share/pear:/local/PEAR/"
At the end you shall restart apache:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
