How to install Imagemagick and Php module Imagick on ubuntu?

i did this 7 simple steps:

Update libraries, and packages

apt-get update

Remove obsolete things

apt-get autoremove

For the libraries of ImageMagick

apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

for the core class Imagick

apt-get install imagemagick

For create the binaries, and conections in beetween

pecl install imagick

Append the extension to your php.ini

echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Restart Apache

service apache2 restart

I found a problem. PHP searches for .so files in a folder called /usr/lib/php5/20100525, and the imagick.so is stored in a folder called /usr/lib/php5/20090626. So you have to copy the file to that folder.
