Installation woes - no decode delegate...

ImageMagick determines the image type from its magic number (usually a few unique bytes in the first few thousand bytes of the image file), from its extention (e.g. image.gif), or from an explicit prefix (e.g. gif:/tmp/phpX16rjz). If it cannot determine the image type it throws an exception.

Check to ensure you can run the convert command from the command-line:

convert logo: logo.gif

If that works, make sure the permissions are set properly. Does the bulletin board software has read and execute permissions to the ImageMagick software.

Ok, your installtion did not include the JPEG and PNG delegate libraries. Type

identify -list format

to confirm. Install the JPEG and PNG development libraries and reconfigure, rebuild, and reinstall ImageMagick.

On Linux systems you can install the JPEG and PNG development RPMS. Not sure how that's done on a FreeBSD system.
