Coverting EPS -> Gif - Strange TIFF Error

[jstango]

Hi All-

I'm having a strange issue converting an EPS to a Gif using the following command:

convert -colorspace rgb Image.eps Image.gif

I get the following error:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick-XXLTucgJ'.
convert: Postscript delegate failed `/tmp/magick-XXC4LtcT': No such file or directory.
convert: hous089.eps: invalid TIFF directory; tags are not sorted in ascending order. `TIFFReadDirectory'.

I've seen this error in a few other posts but I can't seem to understand why this is occuring here.

Here is my config:

I think you are missing the Ghostscript delegate that should be in the list as gs.

http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

[jstango]

Should gs show up there? I had GS 8.54 installed before I built Imagemagick.

The strange thing is if I use pngraw instead of pngalpha on this line:

<delegate decode="ps:alpha" stealth="True" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dN
OPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGrap
hicsAlphaBits=%u "-r%s" %s "-sOutputFile=%s" "-f%s" "-f%s""/>

The conversion works but then I don't get the transparency.

if you install(ed) Ghostscript it should show on your DELEGATES line from your configuration.

My configurations shows:

DELEGATES bzlib fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jp2 lcms lqr openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib


Note the freetype and the gs


So you need to reinstall GS
