title: Imagemagick, Snow Leopard and PDF Conversion
body: <p>Having difficulties with Imagemagick and Snow Leopard.</p>
  
  <p>Imagemagick was installed using the install script from here <a href="http://github.com/maddox/magick-installer/tree" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.  Everything builds and installs correctly.  Imagemagick behave normally for all commands (that I can find) except when trying to convert a PDF.  For example,</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ convert my.pdf my.jpg
  Segmetation Fault
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought it may be ghostscript and tried to run the command that Imagegick delegates too (via the -verbose option)</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ convert -verbose spec/fixtures/documents/upload_test_file.pdf test.jpg
  "gs" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVICE=pnmraw" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72"  "-sOutputFile=/var/folders/Xz/Xz6TDr0DFQaV5J1F7Ndamk+++TM/-Tmp-/magick-4zvJXfSz" "-f/var/folders/Xz/Xz6TDr0DFQaV5J1F7Ndamk+++TM/-Tmp-/magick-O7a9fDyp" "-f/var/folders/Xz/Xz6TDr0DFQaV5J1F7Ndamk+++TM/-Tmp-/magick-rBEzLUsx"

  $ "gs" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVICE=pnmraw" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72"  "-sOutputFile=my.jpg" "-fmy.pdf"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it works.  It creates the pnmrow file as its supposed to.  </p>
  
  <p>I am not sure where to go from here, anyone else seen this or seen it and solved it?</p>
