Mac OS X binary release: display just outputs help text

[magick]

We intend to update the Mac OS X ImageMagick binary distributions within a few days. In the mean-time if you can't wait try downloading/installing from Mac Ports or fink.

Although I am not on the current release, in the past I have had the same problem. But seem to be able to cure it by adding export DISPLAY=:0 to my .profile file.

I have installed from source (no Fink, no MacPorts).
'display' works with no problems at all.
If I type 'display imagefile.png' the display gets opened.
If I type type 'display' with no argument the IM Wizard is opend and I get a file browser window from which I can open images.
My DISPLAY variable is set to ':0.0'
Please note that X11.app has to be running before using the 'display'-command.
