2 ways to solve, modify your user environment PATH variable to
include where the binary CONVERT file is installed with this package.
OR include the path when you try to run convert.
I don't remember, but I have installed this package from lyanage
before, but don't use it anymore. What directory does it install
imagemagick in, and where is the convert file?
For example, it may install imagemagick in /usr/local/imagemagick or /
usr/local/IM.
There there would be folders inside that folder, like /usr/local/IM/
bin, and /usr/local/IM/lib
OR they may have installed within usr local with everything else, so
that the IM binaries are in /usr/local/bin and the IM libs are within.
So search for the CONVERT executable, and call it with the full path,
like:
/usr/local/IM/bin/convert
from the terminal, and see if THAT works. It will do one of two
things, either WORK, or give an error about not finding the linked
libraries it needs. This is a whole other issue, and requires you
setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in your environment to where the IM
libs are.
If you are wondering why this seems like such a pain in the ass, it
is because there is Mac OS X, and there is the UNIX underpinnings. IM
completely resides as a unix LIKE app, as does witango. So you have
to deal with all this other stuff.
On windows (sorry), you just install the gui installer that you get
from ImageMagick itself. It asks you if you want to add the IM path
to your PATH environment variable, and it does it for you. After
install, you can type CONVERT from the command line with no
additional setup.
Also, issue on Mac, is the imageMagick libs have linked dependencies
on many libs, that you don't need. Like X11. If you don't have X11 on
your system, IM won't work.
However, I compiled my own without those dependencies, and submitted
my work and some notes to John Cristy, the founder of ImageMagick.
And they also started compiling IM without the X11 dependency, and I
think there was another lib I asked to be removed, but I don't
remember. I believe this was done with v6.1.9 and above. So if you
are using 6.1.7, you will need X11, unless Lyanage recompiled his
libs without those dependencies.

specifically
Witango related it is for use with Witango so tolerance is
appreciated.
Here's what I do:
Download Marc Liyanage's Imagemagick for OS X package:
http://www2.entropy.ch/download/imagemagick-6.1.7.pkg.tar.gz
Run the installer.
Open terminal and type: convert
"tcsh: convert: Command not found."
I'm guessing I need to muck around with paths or navigate to another
directory or something.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. And don't hold back
thinking "He
couldn't be that stupid" 'cause I could be.
