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

[Fred Weinhaus]

I am getting possibly a similar kind of error on Mac OSX Tiger IM 
6.4.1-1. There is something odd about the Ghostscript install.

See my questions and a possible fix at:

but I still have no real fix, except to edit the delegates.xml file 
and replace gs with gsc

I don't know if this helps your problem. But maybe it will give you a clue.
