Hi Uwe,
Thanks again for your reply. I'm still having a few problems. On the
weekend (using Image Magick version 6.1.9) I turned my computer on,
started LyX and everything worked fine - I could view .eps and .eps files
within LyX. I turned my computer off though and came back a few hours
later and it wasn't working again - very strange !
To try and fix the problem I tried a different version of Ghostscript. I
tried GNU Ghostscript 7.05 (this was recommended on the Image Magick
website). However now I can't get Image Magick to work properly. If I try
to view .eps or .pdf images using Image Magick's Display program I get an
error. I get the same error using covert from the command line;
C:\Documents\graphics>convert eps:aulogo.eps ppm:test.ppm
convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `aulogo.eps'.
convert.exe: missing an image filename `ppm:test.ppm'.
Obviously I need to sort out Image Magick before worrying about LyX.
I tried to unintsall Image Magick (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstall
it several times but it didn't help. I also tried a slightly older version
of Image Magick but they are all giving me the same problem.
I think that maybe changing my Ghostscript version has messed Image Magick
up. Even when I uninstall Image Magick I can still find references to it
in the registry. I think that Image Magick may be trying to use the
version of Ghostscript that I no longer have installed.
I want to get rid of Image Magick (and possibly Ghostscript) completely so
that I can start afresh and install the versions which you are using
successfully together.
Any ideas ??
Maybe I will send a more general email to the list about "Image Magick on
Windows 2000"
Thanks again in advance
