I don't think you installed what you think you installed.

For example, the ImageMagick-6.0.7.1-14.c4.x86_64.rpm contains files
for /usr/lib64 as shown below:

 rpm -qpl ImageMagick-6.0.7.1-14.c4.x86_64.rpm
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/coder.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/colors.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/configure.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/delegates.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/english.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/locale.mgk
/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.0.7/config/log.mgk
....

You may want to double check some things on your end...
