install directory for convert on mac os x?

Post by lost-in-translation »

I installed Imagemagick on OSX using `sudo port install ImageMagick', and cannot seem to find
the directory in which the utility `convert' was installed. When I installed Imagemagick
in the past, `convert' was placed at /usr/local/bin/convert. I am able to launch `convert' from
command line and so I guess it's in my executable path, but the exact location is a mystery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With macports it should be in /opt/local/bin.

The way I install IM is to install all delegates from MacPorts, but install IM from source. see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29100. That way I can update IM as soon as an update arrives or I can use IM 7, if I want.
