ImageMagic & Ghostscript

[Bradley Giesbrecht]

I just spent an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't create a png  
thumbnail from a pdf using apache2/php5 exec(convert from to).

Turns out convert uses gs "GhostScript" to work with pdf's and the  
path to gs was not found by convert.

I found by editing the ImageMagick file "/opt/local/lib/ 
ImageMagick-6.5.5/config/delegates.xml" and changing:
command=""gs"
to
command=""/opt/local/bin/gs"

solved my problem.

Maybe there is a better way. If not I'm wondering about the rest of  
the paths in the delgates file.

If editing this file is the preferred way then maybe this should be  
done by MP at install.
