Error loading any ps, eps, or pdf image

[Martin Henry H. Stevens]

Running Mac OS 10.3.5, LyX 1.3.5, and latest versions of Imagemagik, 
Ghostscript 8, FreeType2, and libwmf from Wierda's i-installer. I did 
not load the iconv script, because of warnings of dire consequences if 
I did not know what I was doing (which I don't). In any event the iconv 
script failed to load, by design, apparently.

Anyway, on my desktop, I cannot load any eps, ps, or pdf image. I can 
load jpg and png files.

I adding a new converter in LyX/Preferences/Converter,
From: PDF (ps to pdf) #only option for PDF
To:      EPS
Converter:  pdf2ps $$i $$o
but to no avail.
