error when using a system command to invoke convert

nodyl · 08-25-2004, 08:24 PM

I have a perl script and am using a system command to convert a .ps file to a .png file. However when I do this I get the error:

convert: Postscript delegate failed [No such file or directory].

So I tried doing it from a C script and got the same error.

I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help.

Try using fully qualified paths ...

Can you show us your function call attempt?

no problem:

system "convert /tmp/pmt_plot.ps /tmp/pmt_plot.png";
