Hmm, kind of unlikely anyone has your version installed -- fink is at
6.2.8 and the ImageMagick official release is 6.3.9. I use 6.2.8 and
it works fine for me.
It sounds to me like perhaps you have an alias set up? What happens
when you type (assuming bash syntax here)
type display
in an xterm where you ran the display command?

Command line 'display logo.gif' (for example) results in the

error. Is it perhaps that ImageMagick cannot find the X11 server?
X11 is working as expected: 'xpdf' works; Gimp works, so do
GhostScript and GhostView. So there would seem to be nothing wrong
with the installation of X11. It is located in /usr/X11 and there
is a symlink /usr/X11R6 pointing to /usr/X11
ImageMagick works in so far as the command 'convert logo:
logo.gif' produces the logo.gif file in the home directory, and
some Perl scripts using the Image::Magick module also function
perfectly. So I have no reason to suppose that there is anything
fundamentally wrong with the installation.
The version of ImageMagick is 6.3.3 installed on an Intel Mac
running OS X 10.5.2.
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest what might be adrift and
what to do to get 'display' to work.
