Dears, I use Ubuntu 8.04 and imagemagick-6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu1.
I want to convert a multi-page ps (post script) file in an animated gif: > convert fig.ps fig.gif But I got a fig.gif with only 1st page of my ps file. Using identify, I got this: > identify fig.ps fig.ps PS 522x732 522x732+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 172kb but, should be: fig.ps[0] PS 522x732 522x732+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 3.27982mb fig.ps[1] PS 522x732 522x732+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 3.27982mb fig.ps[2] PS 522x732 522x732+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 3.27982mb This very same problem was happing in my Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11 with Fink. Then I downloaded http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-universal-apple-darwin8.11.0.tar.gz and installed as indicated and identify/convert start to work as expected. So I try the same approach for my Ubuntu. I downloaded http://www.imagemagick.org/download/linux/fedora/i386/ImageMagick-6.4.2-3.i386.rpm. Because I use Ubuntu I had to convert this rpm to deb via alien and installed it. In order to make it work I also have to get libtiff.so.3 in my /usr/lib. However this approach didn't work and I still have 'convert fig.ps' to animated gif not working in my Ubuntu. NB: if using fig.pdf or fig.tiff (multi-pages files), conversion to animated gif is fine. Is it a bug as it seems to be to me? Any idea of how can I solve this issue? I probably have to communicate Ubuntu too because their package is clearly failing for me. In time, I tested in Suse 10 ImageMagick 6.2.5 and this functionality was OK.
