Okay, I bet the problem is that DX can not find the Image Magick
libraries.  I linked the ImageMagick libraries in /usr/local/lib to
/usr/lib32.  (I left this part out of the README).

If that is not the case, make sure ImageMagick convert works to create a
gif file from the command line (in the older ImageMagick version this was
a problem for me). Try something like:

convert image.tif image.gif

You may also want to get the newer 4.1.0 binaries.
