Hey guys,
I installed imagemagick ImageMagick-6.3.9 from the tar, but when I try to convert:

convert ok.jpg ok.png
convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickWand.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's a debian system and we had imagemagick installed with aptitude. It didn't recognize our JPEG and PNG libraries so I used the tar to compile and install this version. However, now it can't find this .so :'(
I located it, in /usr/local/lib/. But I don't know where it is looking for this library, else I can make some symlinks.

Any help greately appreciated!

Try adding /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld/ld.so.conf.d directory and run ldconfig. Alternately set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

• export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
  convert logo: logo.jpg

That did the trick, thanks alot!
