Yes, there is a problem with the newest imagick build but if you roll back
to the release just before the "latest" then it will work just fine.
I have downloaded the newest and had to manually correct a substantial
amount of bad coding and missing file issues to get it to work correctly
so whoever uploaded that one, really messed things up.
However the earlier release works just fine and you don't have to do any
manual updating or fixes to get that one to work.

could you elaborate on what to do first to resolve it? i am a stupid dumb noob

thank you so much
Ok, here is the basic rundown ....
Code:
# yum install ImageM* netpbm gd gd-* libjpeg libexif gcc coreutils make
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-2.2.2.tgz
# tar zxvf ./imagick-2.2.2.tgz
# cd imagick-2.2.2
# phpize
# ./configure
# make
# make test
# make install
That should build imagick as a loadable module and you should have a
line setup in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to load the imagick extension
like the following:
Code:
extension=imagick.so
(This was probably done for you when you did 'make install' though)
Alternate installation, you could hard compile this extention into PHP
putting it into the /ext folder in the PHP source and using the "--with-imagick"
configure flag but it sounds like that might be beyond what you are ready to
do so forget I mentioned it and the loadable module should work fine for you.
