1. ImageMagick is in the command path and LyX's path prefix.

3. The temp directory contains both a copy of the EPS file and a PDF
version of it. However, the PDF version is a blank A4 page.
Thanks anyway - I do appreciate your help.
No problems. The poor quality conversion has me wondering if there's a
problem with Ghostscript. Imagemagick will use Ghostscript to convert
PS/EPS to PDF. Rather than repeat copious details here, I'll refer you
to the IM README.txt file (look for the item beginning "ImageMagick
requires Ghostscript software ..."). In particular, the sentence "If
Ghostscript is unavailable, the Display Postscript X11 extension is used
to rasterize a Postscript document ..." makes me wonder if Ghostscript
is properly installed and available on the command path (and whether
it's up-to-date -- IM wants GS 8.10, although I presume there's an
implicit 'or later').
