Introduction
Sins I tried around a lot and searched the net to find a working dll for ImageMagic and PHP5.4, with bad results I at last found one working.
There is a guy (Mikko) that has a blog and he wrote about this and and have compiled a working solution. You find his blog about this here: http://valokuva.org/?m=201211.
Hope that this helps others as well.

Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install imagick" does NOT work properly.
Here's how I installed it:
1/ Install ImageMagick software http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
2/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/
3/ Copy php_imagick.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder.
4/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section):
extension=php_imagick.dll
5/ Restart your server
6/ Try the example script to see all went well
Good luck :)

Simple way to install ImageMagick on your linux machine(RHEL5,Cent OS 5)
#yum install ImageMagick*
#pecl install imagick sometimes you may have ask to install gcc compiler. if so execute #yum install gcc*
added the extension on php.ini
#echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /etc/php.ini
#service httpd restart

imagick 2.2.2 might have a problem loading in PHP 5.3 by giving following error at start-up:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '.../imagick.so' - .../imagick.so: undefined symbol: XStringListToTextProperty in Unknown on line 0
in this case, revert to PHP 5.2.8 and imagick-2.2.0 will work just fine.

Recently I had to install ImageMagick on FreeBSD. The following commands achieved this without a problem.
cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick-nox11/
make install clean
service apache22 stop
cd /usr/ports/graphics/pecl-imagick/
make install clean
service apache22 start
NOTE: For some of the package dependencies you will be prompted to select optional add-ons. I left all the config options untouched except for those which provided integration with the X11 system. Those once I disabled.

I have php 5.3.1 running on apache on windows (with xampp)
to get this working i installed the appropriate image magick from here http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
Then i needed the php_imagick.dll for vc6 (because im on apache not iis).
After a bit of searching i found someone hosting it here :

Hope this helps ^^

After 2 hours of looking for help from different documentation & sites, I found out none of them are complete solution. So, I summary my instruction here:
1) yum install php-devel
2) cd /usr
3) wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear
4) php go-pear
5) See the following line in /etc/php.ini [include_path=".:/usr/PEAR"]
6) pecl install imagick
7) Add the following line in /etc/php.ini [extension=imagick.so]
8) service httpd restart
Hopefully, I can save other engineer effort & time.... Good luck!

If you have used lampp first copy imagick.so from /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/imagick.so path and paste it to php lib.(/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613)
Then edit your php.ini and add extension=imagick.so

I too had the error "Please provide a path to MagickWand-config or Wand-config program." when installing on linux (in this case CentOS aka Red Hat).
The simple solution was to ensure "ImageMagick-devel" and NOT "ImageMagick" package was in place. Next comes the standard command:
pecl install imagick
Lastly, and as per the otherwise flawless instructions, edit php.ini to include:
extension=imagick.so

For anyone attempting to install the binaries on windows xp, don't waste your time. You'll need to install this on windows 2003 Server (and up) or Windows Vista since there are dependences (msvcr80.dll) that will require it.

2.) download php_imagick_dyn-Q16.dll from:
http://valokuva.org/outside-blog-content/ imagick-windows-builds/080709/

To install the latest Imagick from PECL on an Ubuntu variant system, assuming your already have PHP5 and Apache2 installed, do the following.
You need your root password, have sudo privileges and be able to run commands from a shell (e.g via Konsole)
1. $ sudo aptitude install php-pear imagemagick php5-dev libmagick9-dev
2. do *not* install php5-imagick as you will install a later version from PECL
3. libmagick9-dev may install a whole load of dependencies. This package provides the Wand-config program and avoids the error on pecl install "configure: error: not found. Please provide a path to MagickWand-config or Wand-config program."
4. $ sudo pecl install Imagick
5. Hit enter to autodetect the "Imagemagick installation" prefix
You should see some compilation messages, noting any errors that stop the Imagick build.
When completed successfully, the following console message should appear
Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/imagick.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/imagick-2.2.0b2
Now for loading it when the web server starts/restarts
6. $ sudo kate /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/imagick.ini
7. enter extension=imagick.so and save
8. $ sudo apache2ctl configtest
9. $ sudo apache2ctl restart
Notes:
* You can use any apt client e.g apt-get to install packages
* If you want beta Imagick then:
$ sudo pear config-set preferred_state beta
* You can now upgrade Imagick as new versions are made available in PECL the same way PEAR updates are handled.
Hope this helps some of you...
