Happy to help, and thanks for posting the final solution - useful for us and anyone that Googles for it later.

Yup, It compiled and I

Yup, It compiled and I shipped already

So, just for the reference, i did:

rpm -qa | grep -i image

That revealed that I have IM-devel.i386 and its dependency, the 6.0.whatever installed. Removed both with

rpm -e [IM-version-type]

then wget IM source, "untar" (yeah, i know ) it, then

./configure
make
make install

watch the screen.

type /usr/bin/convert (if it says it's not found, try
find / -name convert
and use the path returned) to see if it works, the first line should return the version number.

Thanks very much pr0gr4mm3r for the tips,
greatly appreciated

Yup, it was. As it's much

Yup, it was. As it's much easier and issue-less I usually install as much software as possible through RPM

Another possibility would be to build my own RPM with rpmbuild, right? But never did it.

A little update would be that i compiled (but not installed) the new version of IM and no issue was through the process. But then I don't understand why the issues with the Fedora rpms?! As far as I know they are very similar with CentOS, i have to admit tho, I never saw a running Fedora yet.

If you have to compile it

If you have to compile it from source, I would uninstall the version through the rpm database, and install the one from source.

If it doesn't work, you can uninstall it by running 'make uninstall' and then reinstall the one from the rpm database.

Was IM originally installed

Was IM originally installed through the Centos RPM Database?
