so, you can run convert then, from anywhere, like this:
/usr/local/bin/convert
OR you can also modify your path environment. The only issue is that
the path environment is not global, but by user. So if you modify
your PATH env in a terminal session, it only works for that terminal
session. So to make it work in ALL terminal session for a given user:
My user name is rgarcia. So, in the path /users/rgarcia , there
should be a file called ".profile" The "." at the beginning makes it
hidden, so use something like BBEdit, to open a hidden file and look
for it. It is possible it is not there. That means no program has
created it yet, so you need to make it.
If the file is there, add this text:
echo $PATH | grep -q -s "/usr/local/bin"
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
fi
If it is not, create the file with this text. This little snippet,
will check if /usr/local/bin is already in your path, and only add if
it is not.
Now, if you want convert to be available to witango, then add this
snippet to the witango startup item, where it is setting up the
environment for ODBC and stuff.
NOTE: It is completely acceptable to NOT modify your path for witango
or your user environment, you only have to use "/usr/local/bin/
convert" to call the utility, instead of just "convert". I would
recommend you do the .profile update above but DO NOT modify your
global path, or the witango startup item unless you feel real
comfortable. If you are using witango_cmd or the external action,
just use /usr/local/bin/convert.

There is neither an IM or imagemagick folder in /usr/local/ but I
happened
to look in /usr/local/bin/ and 'convert and the other Imagemagick
files are
there along with Clamav files. Not sure why.
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.
Yes, that is it.
So search for the CONVERT executable, and call it with the full path,
like:
/usr/local/IM/bin/convert
I did a ./convert from the folder and it displayed the help screen
showing
how to format commands (like the man file I assume).
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.
Am I correct in assuming it is working at the path /usr/local/bin?
I assume the next step is to edit the path variable? Can youprovide
a clue
as to where I find that in OS X (And your help is appreciated BTW)?
