i did this on a host that has redhat 7.3 which uses rpm ver 3.i had ssh access, but you could just put this in a php file with system calls.
1. download rpm2cpio.pl 2. copied cpio binary from another server (conectiva 8) it works 3. download the ImageMagick rpm for redhat 7.2/7.34. download Xfree rpm from redhat (http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86-libs-4.2.0-8.i386.rpm)
chmod 775 rpm2cpio.pl mkdir im cd im ../rpm2cpio.pl ../ImageMagick-5.4.X-Y.i386.rpm | cpio -iduv ../rpm2cpio.pl ../XFree86-libs-4.2.0-8.i386.rpm | cpio -iduv export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='$PWD/usr/lib:$PWD/usr/X11R6/lib'usr/bin/convert
