I'm trying to call Imagemagick's convert through a subprocess from within

Console.app is telling me that it can't find it in /bin/sh which stands to
reason.
I can change the "convert" command to "/usr/local/bin/convert" in the app
but then when convert calls Ghostscript (gs) it can't find IT in /bin/sh.
Suggestions?
PIL?
right, or the python bindings to Image Magic.
Anyway, that aside, there may be other reasons to call command line
apps. I think your choices are:
1) hard-code the full paths
- but this will only work if every system you run it on has them in
the same places.
2) set a PATH environment variable, with at least the standard path in it:
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
you may want to add some in there for macports or fink, too.
I suppose you could even import the users .bash_rc or something, and get
it that way.
Depending on how you are calling the command line tools, there much be a
way to set environment variables -if nothing else, add the:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
right before your command.
