ask for help of ImageMagick installation on Mac OS X Tiger

[shockjocks]

I follow the instruction:

cd $HOME
tar xvfz ImageMagick-universal-apple-darwin9.2.2.tar.gz
export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.4.0"
export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib"

then I test it:
convert
identify logo.gif

they work fine


But when I run display logo.gif
It only give me help file, no output .

I already opened X11.


Ask for your help!

Try this command:

• display -display :0 logo.gif

Hi, magick, thanks for your help,
I tried what you said, did not work.

fmw42,
thanks for your help,
I read your post, feel too complicated.

you said "IM does NOT come with all the support libraries that are needed to process several image types",including jpeg, tif and png.
but I can still use command "convert logo.gif logo.jpg",
I saw a file named logo.jpg after that, and I can open it using other program such as Preview.

I am confused.

If you download the binary, everything should be there. If you install from source, then you need to also install all the delegate libraries to read tiff, png, jpg etc.
