I recently installed ImageMagick for Mac OS on my home computer running OS 10.4.9. I had previously installed X11 from the Tiger DVD and then downloaded and installed from Apple's web site the X11 v1.1.3 2006 updater. MacGimp seems to work fine and can display a picture. After installing ImageMagick ImageMagick-6.3.4 from the ImageMagick-universal-apple-darwin8.9.1.tar.gz into my user's directory I ran each of the three export commands and then convert, identify and display. The first two work fine, but when I try display, it objects saying that it is unable to open X server. Here is the listing from my terminal session:

Welcome to Darwin!
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ export MAGICK_HOME="ImageMagick-6.3.4"
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ export PATH; PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib"
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ convert logo: logo.gif
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ identify logo.gif
logo.gif GIF 640x480 640x480+0+0 PseudoClass 256c 8-bit 37.4414kb
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ display logo.gif
display: unable to open X server `'.
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$ display logo.gif
display: unable to open X server `'.
Fred-Weinhaus-Computer:~ fred$

The other issue is that each time I log out of the terminal and start it up again, I have to go through each of the 3 export commands again. They do not seem to get set in my .profile file.

Can you help me on these two issues? Thanks.
