problem with ImageMagick 6.8.6-6 (no delegates found)

[Artemio González López]

I am having a weird problem with the latest ImageMagick (6.8.6-6_0+x11). Namely, I can't convert any images because no delegates are found. Indeed, here's the output of identify --list format:

tillina:~ artemio$ identify -list format
  Format  Module    Mode  Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* native blob support
r read support
w write support
+ support for multiple images

As you can see, absolutely no delegates are found! However, identify --version does report the usual assortment of delegates:

tillina:~ artemio$ identify --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.6-6 2013-08-17 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates: bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms lzma png ps tiff x xml zlib

And so does convert -list configure:

I uninstalled, cleared and reinstalled ImageMagick from scratch, but it didn't change anything. Does anybody have any idea as to what could the problem be, or how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,

Artemio
