Hi,

I am not 100% sure whether this has to do with new ghostscript-8.60 but convert is failing
for the cases shown below using ImageMagick 6.3.5-9. Issuing the same command at the
command line works fine. Also, ps2pdf etc. work fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks

=================================================================================

$ convert test.ps test.eps
Unknown device: "epswrite"
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:
    defaultdevice
convert: Delegate failed `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFE -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 -sDEVICE="epswrite" -sOutputFile="%o" -f"%i"'.

$ convert test.ps test.pdf
Unknown device: "pdfwrite"
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:
    defaultdevice
convert: Delegate failed `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFE -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 -sDEVICE="pdfwrite" -sOutputFile="%o" -f"%i"'.

However, issuing the command by hand:

$ gs -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFE -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 -sDEVICE="pdfwrite" -sOutputFile=test.pdf -ftest.ps
$

works fine and creates the file.
