So I did research and the experts asked for this command to be displayed:$ export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.9.0"
$ export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib/"
$ identify -verbose /tmp/f1.png
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
$
You can see that some "delegates" are missing. They also said to try this command to help troubleshoot:$ convert -version

I'm not really sure what that means. They also said to try this command:$ convert -list configure

But I did read another web page (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24326) which suggests that this is a known problem with the Mac port of ImageMagick. So I'm wondering if this is my problem or not. All I want is a documented way to get ImageMagick to work on OS X.
