Installing imagemagick when you don't have permission

It's annoying to install new libraries on linux when you don't have root access. Usually, you just have to change the prefix, but this didn't work for me with Imagemagick. For some reason, when it came to running make install everything worked except for the PerlMagick module which still tried to install in the default location, which I didn't have access to.

To fix this, just disable PerlMagick, unless you plan to use it:

./configure --prefix=/home/my_directory --without-perl
