Was trying to get ImageMagick to talk to Ghostscript using MacPorts in OSX Lion but it wouldn't have it. Used to have it working fine under Snow Leopard but something went amiss during Migration assistant.
Anyhow, have unstalled all of Mac Ports and am now trying using Homebrew
Have installed Homebrew, installed ImageMagick and then ghostscript. Imagemagick is working fine (using a php image script and MAMP) but Ghostscript is not converting PDF's to jpgs. I can see than 'gs' is not listed as a delegate of Imagemagick.
Here are some relevant Terminal dumps:
convert -list delegate
Path: /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/etc/ImageMagick/delegates.xml

How do I force Ghostscript to be seen as a delegate by ImageMagick?
Best Answer
Well, in your listing coming from
convert -list delegatethere are the following six lines:They all do mention
"gs"...However, you say you first installed ImageMagick and only then Ghostscript.
So ImageMagick could not find any Ghostscript during compile time, that's why it doesn't appear in
convert -list configure | grep DELEG....You should try and install in reverse order: first Ghostscript, then ImageMagick....
