same bug in converting to/from PDF in IM 6.4.0-11

Post by fmw42 »

I just upgraded to IM 6.4.0-11 from IM 6.4.0-10 on Mac OSX Tiger. I am having the same problem converting to/from PDF as I had in 6.4.0-10:

freds-mac-mini:~ fred$ convert rose: rose.png
freds-mac-mini:~ fred$ convert rose.png rose.pdf
freds-mac-mini:~ fred$ convert rose.pdf rose2.png
sh: line 1: gsc: command not found
convert: Postscript delegate failed `rose.pdf': No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `rose2.png'.


See:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11123

I will edit the delegates.xml file again.

You may want to look into this further as it keeps happening.

I notice in the changelog:

2008-04-20 6.4.0-10 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>
Updated to the latest autoconf/automake/libtool scripts.

Might this be related to the problem I am getting with the delegates.xml containing "gcs" rather than "gs"?

This was the release, 6.4.0-10, where it started to happen.

Doh! You must have the Ghostscript framework installed. The framework has a gsc program rather than gs. Use a file/folder search and see if you can find the gsc program

Yes, I had to install the Ghostscript framework to get Ghostscript properly installed as IM configure complained about that. When I installed it many releases ago, it was working fine. But at about IM 6.4.0-10, I started to get the above problem.

I have done

find / | grep gsc

but it only found:

/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gscanner.h


The Ghostscript framework is installed at
/Library/frameworks/Ghostscript.Framework
