I do this for a HDRI version of IM.

I build it with a --prefix to install in a specific location.

I then use a script called 'hdri' to call this version of IM

=======8<--------CUT HERE----------axes/crowbars permitted---------------
#!/bin/sh

#   hdri imagemagick_command....

# Run the HDRI version of imagemagick (or other personal installed IM)

# Where is the HDRI version of IM stored (configure --prefix setting)
export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/im_hdri

# Yes these are still necessary - especially if MAGICK_HOME has moved
# from where IM was installed using configure --prefix
#
# The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is especially important to get the right library.
#
# However the PATH does not help IM find the "show:" delegate!
# That is the location of "display" is hardcoded in the show delegate!
# As such if the MAGICK_HOME directory is moved "show:" will fail
# unless I remove the path from the "delegate.xml" file and add the

#
export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

# Execute the HDRI version of the command
exec "$@"
