Uninstall imagemagick 6.1 on osx 10,4

Ok so i'm a new admin at a boston company, one of the first things that was thrown at me was an issue with a web server that uses ImageMagick to edit images for a new webpage being developed. The server is a OSx Tiger server running imagemagick 6.1. I found out it was a recompiled version of from Entropy. Well this version needs the powerPC process to work, thus causing a bottleneck on the server.

I have been tasked to upgrade the server to the new version of ImageMagick (which is designed for intel). This i have figured out. BUT the old version is still executing when the web page makes the Convert call. So i need to uninstall this older version.. Any suggestion?

If you have compiled ImageMagick from source code then delete / move the old binary "/usr/bin/convert"

then copy the binary from utilities folder (in ImageMagick Source) to /usr/bin/

# cp utilities/convert /usr/bin/
