Ghostscript not recognized

[JDTornado]

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to figure this out for days and I NEED it to work. Here is my setup:

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
GS 9.05
IM 6.7.5

I installed GS first, followed by IM. When I do a convert -list config, gs does not show up in the delegates and I get the following errors when trying convert test.pdf[0] test.jpg:

"Postscript delegate failed 'test.pdf': No such file or directory"
and
"missing an image filename 'test.jpg'"

I have another server with the exact same setup, and it works just fine, even though gs doesn't show up in the delegates when I do a convert -list config. I installed both from binaries, just used the installers for them. Can anyone give me some advice because I am about to bang my head on my desk just to make the pain of frustration feel less prominent?

GS is a pain to install esp on Windows. So it probably did not get properly installed. Search the archives for a relatively recent post where the solution for Windows was discussed by Wolfgang Hugemann.

I don't know if this is relevant but look at viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20201

I have looked through all the threads he posted on, as well as the one that was recommended, and I haven't found anything that I haven't already tried.. Nothing is working. Still frustrated lol. Any help would be very much appreciated. Also, here is the exact message I'm getting back from command prompt when I try to convert:

When I run identify -list delegate I get:

I see gswin32c.exe show up in there plenty of times, but I don't get gs when I do convert -list config and look at the delegates. I also notice that it's not the full path to the file either. Is there a way to modify any of that, becuase in the delgates.xml file there is a placeholder in every spot that gswin32c.exe is listed. Help would be appreciated very much. Thanks in advance!

Sorry I am not a Windows user so cannot help further. Hopefully some kind Windows user will see your post and reply.

By the way, did you install IM from source or binary?

[JDTornado]

From binary

Update:

I tried installing the latest versions of IM and GS with the same effect, then reverted back to the versions I have working on my other server. Any thoughts?

[JDTornado]

Got it working! I installed the 32bit version of ghostscript and it seemed to have done the trick. I don't know why it works with the 64bit version on my other server, but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks for the help.
