[magick-users] installation woes on os x: missing an image file name

[Jan Anderssen]

hi.

i'm trying in various ways and vain to convince image magick to work  
on an intel macbook, os x, 10.4.7.

so far all attempts ended in:

$ convert -verbose 10.jpg
convert: missing an image filename `10.jpg'.

by various attempts i mean compiling from source with various options  
(all tests passed with make check), installing through the package  
provided for the i-Installer program, or installing the binaries  
provided at http://www.kyngchaos.com
(to be precise, the last ones type out the error message differently:  
MissingAnImageFileName...)

if anyone could shed light on this, or has further suggestions, i'd  
be thankful to hear.
i tried google, looked through a few month of mailing list archives  
and the bulletin board, but didn't see anything obvious, though if  
i've missed something i apologize, and would be happy about a pointer.

thanks!
jan
