ImageMagick delegate library error

I have recently installed ImageMagick and I am trying to use it to convert postscript files to .gif images. I ran the post installation test:



/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif


This works perfectly, but trying to convert my own does not. I am using a CentOS virtual machine.



This is what I first tried:



/usr/local/bin/convert Average.ps: average.gif


Nothing seems to happen, it's as if something is happening but nothing does.



Then I tried:



convert -list configure


I did this to see what files types are supported, I got:



DELEGATES mpeg ps


So I tried:



/usr/local/bin/convert Average.ps: average.mpeg


And the same thing happens. I also tried the above without the .ps just in case that would help.



When I run



display /root/Desktop/Average_1961.ps


I get this error:




display: delegate library support not built-in `' (X11) @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/1906.




But the delegate library shows .ps and .mpeg support, and the install test created a gif, so I'm very confused.



Has anyone got any suggestions?



Thanks,
Ciara
