Restart the pecl install imagick command at the end you should something like this which means the build was successfully done and the extension was installed successfully.

Installing ‘/usr/lib64/php/modules/imagick.so’

Your tutorial saved the day. Thanks for sharing.
I have a server with Plesk 9.3 and so I was concerned about updating certain things outside of Plesk.
I didn’t have the function phpize, however, and had to do “yum install php-devel” to get those development tools.
What’s more is that I found that “yum install ImageMagick” installed version 6.3.2– not the current version 6.6. I’m not sure why b/c this means I’ll miss out on some new functions. Also, any Imagick version more than 2.2.1 didn’t work with the 6.3.2 version of ImageMagick. (they really need to come up with two more distinct names)
Anyway, it’s all working with ImageMagick 6.3.2 and Imagick 2.2.1.
