problem display/convert pdf

[mzp3769]

Hello,
I installed IM on my Mountain Lion laptop and can't display/convert pdfs. Can you help? Thanks,

Mac OS X 10.7.4
Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-6 2012-07-28 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
display: Postscript delegate failed `bias_SO4.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/669.

Looks to me like you might not have ghostscript delegate installed.

What delegates do you have installed? type

convert -list configure | grep -i "delegates"

For example, mine are

DELEGATES bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms2 lqr openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib

gs is ghostscript

I am no Mac OSX Snow Leopard IM 6.7.9.1 Q16

Yes, I did not have gs delegate, after I installed ghoscript I can see the pdfs - but still there is this odd chessboard-like pattern outside of the borders of the main picture?
Any help for that?
Thanks,
MArk

Did you reinstall IM after installing ghostscript. Did you include the gs fonts in your ./configure command.
