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

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.
