Hello!
I just installed ImageMagick through macports and I was running a test case. I successfully performed "convert", but when I try to "display" or "identify" I get an error
-bash: display: command not found

I am running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2) on i7 (64 bit).

Thank you very much for your help!

identify should not be giving an error. does this work

identify rose:

if not then what is the error message?




but display needs you to have installed X11 from Xcode Tools and X11 must be started before you try to display.

Once you have X11 installed, then you can edit the following at the end of your in your .profile file

export DISPLAY=:0

the try

display rose:

Thanks for the reply!

This is the error I get with the identify
-bash: identify: command not found

And I have Xcode installed and I added the DISPLAY, but it did not fix my problem
I was reading up on that and it looks like display should work even without ImageMagick package, so I am even more lost now...

Sound like IM did not get fully installed. But I am not an expert enough to tell you why. Perhaps try installing again? Or wait until the IM developer responds.

Did you install from source or from binary? Did you do it yourself or get it from MacPorts?

Yes, I used MacPorts to install ImageMagick.

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

I would try uninstalling and installing again. What version was it? If that does not work, then the IM developers may have to respond as there may be an issue with the IM version for Lion that you are getting from MacPorts.

Thanks!
I installed it on two different machines and I get the same problems/errors. So I am thinking there's a conflict between the ImageMagick and Lion.
Can you please tell me how I can contact IM developers directly? Thanks!

Please post a note on the bugs forum and link back to this message. Also include the IM version.

convert -version

or see what MacPorts reports as the version

The developer monitors the bugs forum closely.

I sent him a note already and will resend it for you.

Thank you so much!

This is my version:
Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-3 2011-04-04 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Your version is a bit old. I think I recall seeing some bug reports and fixes from early versions of IM for Lion. I would suggest you remove the MacPorts version and try to install the current version from IM binaries at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx
