add this to your package.mask: ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.7.1" and then  
emerge imagemagick again. :-)

by using emerge "=ImageMagick-6.4.7.0" - if that version was in portage
though, which is not, according to
http://gentoo-portage.com/media-gfx/imagemagick
so I guess you have to go the hard way by installing it manually...

Go to http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/ browse to the
package you want and select Show dead files. this gives all the obsoleted
ebuilds, pick the files you need and copy them to the
media-gfx/imagemagick directory in your overlay. Then add
">media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.7.0" to /etc/portage.package.use. You'll need
to "ebuild /path/to/ebuild manifest" before you can emerge it.

Except that particular version is not there, so it was never in portage.
You can either make do with a close version or copy the nearest ebuild
and rename it to match the version you need.

Here you can download ebuilds for all previous versions and then put
it in your local overlay:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-gfx/imagemagick/?hideattic=0

Although it looks like 6.4.7.0 was never in portage. You might be able
to take an ebuild from a version near that one and simply rename it to
the version you want.

You can't, since the lowest version in portage is 6.5.2.9:

  $ eix imagemagick
  [I] media-gfx/imagemagick
      Available versions:  6.5.2.9!u (~)6.5.4.10!u 6.5.7.0!u (~)6.5.8.8!u

Look in the attic [*] for old ebuilds. Looks like 6.4.7.0 is not 
available, so maybe you will download 6.4.8.3 which is the nearest 
version. Put the ebuild into your overlay, create a manifest (like ebuild 
/usr/local/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-6.4.8.3.ebuild 
manifest), and try to emerge =media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.8.3. This might 
work, but maybe there is other software you have installed that needs a 
newer version - then it would not work so easily.

Why do you need it anyway? You could also just fetch the tarball from 
imagemagick.org, build it in a local directory, and install to 
/usr/local/.

I'm using Haxe/Neko and we have a wrapper for ImageMagick, but as no one 
did really use it often the last version is made for IM 6.4.7.
So I might download the ebuild 6.4.5 in a hurry, then we will update the 
Haxe library.

I know nothing about the Haxe language, but google suggests that there
is a library called nmagick which ports the IM library to haXe and
Neko platforms. Maybe you don't need to write your own wrapper?

Hi,

you will have to search for the source and an ebuild. I remember that 
there is a place where all (old) ebuils are saved, but I cannot remember 
where. Then you'll need to mask all newer versions.

Slow list? (was: Re: [gentoo-user] emerge older version)

[Alex Schuster]

Wow, seven mostly similar answers. Is the list becoming slow? When I 
posted about an hour after the question was posted, there were no answers 
yet. Let's see how long this post takes to arrive. Usually it's just a 
matter of a few minutes.

I noticed that too; I thought it's GMane's fault (I'm posting through 
their NNTP server.)
