This is needed for the most recent, somewhat stronger version of the faptcha to be deployed ... which is important for security, although we can at least fall back on recaptcha now. Currently it seems to be installed but not working. I got the same behaviour locally when I was trying to set it up, in theory it should be achievable via package management e.g. $ apt-get install imagemagick && apt-get install php5-imagick && /usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart, but this gave me a non-functional installation. In the end I think that the "pecl install imagick" method as per http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/imagemagick-and-php-your-best-friend-our-your-worst-nightmare.html was necessary.
