1. Add the settings of the environment variables into your profile resource file. This is essential to ensure proper execution and performance of ImageMagick and Ghostscript. The settings are:
setenv MAGICK_HOME /usr/local
setenv LIBPATH usr/lib:{$MAGICK_HOME}/lib:{$LIBPATH}
set path=($MAGICK_HOME/bin $path)
2. To display the list of supported file types that ImageMagick can support, enter the following command: /usr/local/bin/identify -list format
If the list displayed is empty, then an environment setting is not correct. Verify that the MAGICK_HOME setting is /usr/local and verify that you made no typos during the installation for any environment variables. The settings are:
setenv MAGICK_HOME /usr/local
setenv LIBPATH usr/lib:{$MAGICK_HOME}/lib:{$LIBPATH}
set path=($MAGICK_HOME/bin $path)
3. To verify that ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:
convert logo: logo.gif
identify logo.gif
display logo.gif
