I removed version 5.4.7 (rpm -e) but the 5.5.3 is from an earlier attempt although I think I hacked out everything connected with it.  Here's where I am:

Sorry, can't help with ImageMagick compiles.  You'd have to go ask
those guys directly.

Looks like it's still finding the imagemagick libraries from 5.5.3.
You need to get rid of the library files and any header files
associated with it before trying to put in a different version.

Xastir doesn't directly use the liblcms library.  I assume that's
another ImageMagick requirement for whatever you or someone else
compiled into that package.  Magick-config is supposed to take care
of these dependencies when actually using ImageMagick in other
projects, but as we've found out, it doesn't always do so.  Complain
to the ImageMagick guys, but first get ImageMagick compiled and
installed correctly, so that you are sure you're complaining about
the right thing to them.
