Image Magick installation problem

I'm trying to install Imagemagick so that my Photo Gallery CGI scripts works but following the steps, I typed ./config and I get this error

bash-2.05$ ./configure
configuring ImageMagick 6.2.3
checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2005-07-08, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess
and
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches@gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

I already updated config.guess and config.sub so right now I'm trying to search the web for a solution. Is there way around this and how do you find what build you have?

Under what are you trying to compile?

ImageMagick is a very common package and unless you have someting very exotic then you should be able to find prebuilt packages/source for your specific system which is almost always a better solution since someone has already done all the make debugging for you.

Look into your config.guess file and see if you have all the utilities it needs like uname.
