You're probably talking about the text that "configure" puts out
about ImageMagick.  What you can lose is some of the slider
functionality in Tigermaps.  That may not be an issue for you.

You can certainly go back to the other version of ImageMagick that
worked for you.

You can also check the config.log file to see if the problem might
be that ImageMagick needs other libraries which aren't on your
system.  RedHat appears to not have all of the dependencies listed
for the ImageMagick package, so you get it installed ok, but then
you can't do some things with it because of these missing libraries.

Another option is to install ImageMagick from source, which should
nearly always work.
