Thanks for the results (but I was hoping this problem was solved). I see Jeff reports success with javadx on Irix 6.5, but perhaps this is just luck. I run a slightly later 4.0.10+ on irix 6.2 (built 1/26) but the magick related files were dated December, so Jeff's build should be current Image Magick wise. I ran the gif stuff today just to be sure.
Did you get IM 5.1.1 per Jeff's readme, an intermediate version or the IM 5.2 currently available? (Jeff, can your binary run with 5.2?) Is the stack trace informative? (dbx dxexec ... where ). Can you use IM's convert utility write a gif? I assume convert uses the same library (or at least the same code). Can you refine the problem by writing other formats from OpenDX that exercise libMagick (jpeg, pdf, etc.) or do they all coredump? Do you get the intermediate .miff file? Is there another copy/version of libMagick leftover on the machine? Does anyone have a copy of purify on one of these machines? Pete "Susan A.
