Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I've installed the latest IM version through Synaptic package manager (6.6.9). Ghostscript was already installed (v 9.04), also via Synaptic. Converting to pdfs did not work, and finally I tracked it down to IM not having gs listed among delegates:

DELEGATES bzlib djvu fontconfig freetype gvc jpeg jng jp2 lcms lqr openexr png rsvg tiff x11 xml wmf zlib

So, I re-installed ghostscript, reinstalled IM (through synaptic again). That did not help. Then I reinstalled IM, this time forcing a stable version (6.6.0). Same thing, it refuses to see my gs. Both gs and IM are installed in usr/bin/
What else can I try to get it to work?

An hour after a few unsuccessful attempts to generate pdf files, these pdf files have appeared in my folder. There's still no ghostscript among the delegates. Huh.

Did your IM config command include --with-gslib and --with-gs-font-dir=....

No, I didn't compile, I installed a binary using Synaptic, so I don't know how it was configured. IM had worked before for me, but I recently changed to Debian testing+KDE, which shouldn't in theory affect this. Nevertheless, the pdfs did get generated (they appeared in the folder in 1 hour).
