Hi everyone,

I install ImageMagick is in my path, /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, but the problem is when I run idl and want to convert ps image to png, it tell me
ImageMagick is not installed on your computer.

I want help.

What is your exact code and version?

Try /usr/bin/convert or /usr/local/bin/convert instead of just convert

You can try finding it with type convert or which convert

does not work
;.....................................
A.S> which convert
/bin/convert
;....................................
under bash shell if I type
export PATH=/opt/local/bin/:$PATH
it works normally, but with csh shell following command does not work

setnv PATH /opt/local/bin/:$PATH

should that not be
e is missing between set and nv

I do not use csh shell but I think you need to do that in the .cshrc file. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... v_vars.htm
https://www.ccs.uky.edu/docs/cluster/env.html
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... -hat-linux

I am already add it in my .cshrc, but the problem did not solve.

If you believe that IM is installed in /opt/local/bin, then try a simple command in your shell such as
does that work?

Are you on IM 7 or IM 6. Exactly what version of IM are you using and on what platform? If on IM 7, then replace convert with magick.

If i type
/opt/local/bin/magick logo: logo.gif
command not found.
but if I type
A.S> where magick
/usr/local/bin/magick
A.S> /usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif
A.S> /usr/local/bin/magick logo: logo.gif

image logo.gif appears in directory.

So your ImageMagick is not installed where you thought. So change your setenv

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin/:$PATH

If the command magick works then you also have a version of ImageMagick 7 installed. I think you need to find which version of ImageMagick you have on your system and where.

What do you get from each of these?

I write

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin/:$PATH

but the problem did not solve.

For illustration, my problem with imagmagick with idl is

IDL> cgPS2Raster, 'IQUVS.ps', /JPEG
% Compiled module: CGPS2RASTER.
% Compiled module: SETDEFAULTVALUE.
% Compiled module: CGROOTNAME.
% Compiled module: PATH_SEP.
% Compiled module: STRSPLIT.
% Compiled module: FILEPATH.
% Compiled module: CGHASIMAGEMAGICK.
% Compiled module: CGERRORMSG.

Traceback Report from CGPS2RASTER:

% CGPS2RASTER: ImageMagick cannot be found on this machine.
% Execution halted at: CGPS2RASTER 416 /coyote/cgps2raster.pro
% $MAIN$

You have two version of imagemagick installed. IM 7 at /usr/local/bin and IM 6 at /usr/bin. IM is not installed at /opt/local/bin

I do not work with csh shell, so cannot tell you how to set that environment variable if that fails. But you can put the full path to magick or convert in your commands in your shell script and that should work.

in . cshrc, I define paths of all other programs using setenve, but with IM I have a problem or the problem with CGPS2RASTER.pro prog.

Sorry, I do not know CGPS2RASTER.pro program. I wish I could help more, but it is now out of my range of knowledge.

You could try adding your setenv command at the top of your script and see if that works.

Thanks for your help, I will tray again
