I managed to install GraphicsMagick. I wanted to see if that works a little bit better than GD, but so far it's not working at all. In Admin->Settings->Graphics I get the message "We could not locate GraphicsMagick on your system."

First qeustion that pops into my mind is: "where are you trying to look for it then??"

Because it's installed, that's why. phpinfo() also says it's installed:
gmagick version: 1.0.8b1
GraphicsMagick version: GraphicsMagick 1.3.15 2012-04-28 Q16 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/

What do I do now?

I'm guessing that you're hitting an open_basedir restriction, which you can verify by checking your open_basedir setting in phpinfo() and/or checking your Apache error logs.
Is it in the path to get detected?

This might help as well:

Oh and there is a advanced setting that you might be able to edit.

Sorry, no juice.

* The open_basedir is set to none, and the docs say that it means no restrictions.
* The GM installation path is in the PATH envi-variable.
* Changed the advanced setting provides no solution: every attempt at generating a thumbnail silently fails while G3 pretends they succeed. Even very small jpegs.
* There is no shell_exec() or exec() restriction, unless this is the default, because I haven't touched any of the default restrictions.

What more can I try?

Btw, I also tried ImageMagick, but it crashes Apache (another silent fail - no notable errors in the log) so I promptly uninstalled it.

Sorry, I don't know. Perhaps others might chime in. They 'just work' for me on my hosts.
