For RHEL-based i386 distributions:

yum install ImageMagick.i386
yum install ImageMagick-devel.i386
pecl install imagick
echo "extension=imagick.so" > /etc/php.d/imagick.ini
service httpd restart

This may also work on other i386 distributions using yum package manager. For x86_64, just replace .i386 with .x86_64
