[magick-users] Leopard OSX, ImageMagick and PDF's

[Tony Crockford]

I have an odd problem, I hope someone will be able to point me in the  
right direction.

I am using IM to upload anf resize images using PHP exec() -  all  
works fine on the Linux dev server, and for images locally on Leopard  
OSX using Apache 2, PHP 5 and MacPorts install of

Version: ImageMagick 6.4.1 05/09/08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC


I am also using IM to generate a jpg thumbnail from a pdf file - this  
script worked with Tiger, works on my dev server and the exact same  
command works from the command line in leopard.

However, when I run the command using exec() it fails, and the error  
log reports:

sh: gs: command not found
convert: Postscript delegate failed  - 'filenames and path removed':  
No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `filenames and path removed'.


(I've taken out the filenames and paths - they work from the command  
line, so can't see they'd be the issue?)

I can only guess that it's a permissions thing, but I've tried all  
that I can think of, but to no avail.

has anyone had experience of this?  fixed it? got any ideas?

many thanks

Tony
