Postscript delegate failed

What is wrong here? rrr.eps IS where convert is called:

burns:~ peter$ convert rrr.eps rrr.png
convert: Postscript delegate failed `rrr.eps': No such file or directory @ error/ps.c/ReadPSImage/837.
convert: no images defined `rrr.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3106.

You are probably missing the Ghostscript delegate library.

When you type

convert -list configure

look at the line DELEGATES. Does it contain gs or ghostscript?

No, it doesn't.

What is the easiest way to install the Ghostscript delegate library?

You have not said what platform?

I have no idea if you are on Windows.

For my Mac, I just use MacPorts.

The delegates are at http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/, but I would search the web for the latest versions
