[magick-users] Help! I don't understand delegates. ImageMagick failure on AIX (100% make test errors)

[Rich Cook]

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble with ImageMagick on AIX.  I don't  
understand how to debug the idea of delegates.  The build and install  
went fine, although I had to tweak a little to get that to complete.   
However, every command gives me errors, like this:

rcook at up041 (aix_5_64_fed): bin/display ~/testpage.png
display: no decode delegate for this image format `/g/g0/rcook/ 
testpage.png'.
display: unable to open image `logo:': No such file or directory.
rcook at up041 (aix_5_64_fed): bin/display ~/dataAndImages/junk.ps
display: no decode delegate for this image format `/g/g0/rcook/ 
dataAndImages/junk.ps'.
display: unable to open image `logo:': No such file or directory.
rcook at up041 (aix_5_64_fed): bin/convert ~/dataAndImages/test.tiff  
test.ppm
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/g/g0/rcook/ 
dataAndImages/test.tiff'.
convert: missing an image filename `test.ppm'.

etc.

Also, when I do a "make test" it fails, and spews out billions of  
messages like this:
