Hi all, I have found a problem with ImageMagick and a temporary fix.
After a recent update to my Cygwin installation, the convert program stopped working. It simply exited silently, though I discover with gdb that it was failing with an unknown exception. It turned out that this was because of a missing dll, specifically /usr/X11R6/bin/cygdpstk-1.dll, which also requires /usr/X11R6/bin/cygdps-1.dll. A bit more digging and I found that these DLLs used to be part of package xorg-x11-bin-dlls but has been removed with the latest release - 6.8.99.901-1. I've fixed the problem for myself by grabbing these DLLs from the previous version of this package (xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.2.0) and hand-installing them. So, as I said, I don't know whether this could be fixed by you or the x11 maintainers. Any thoughts?
