1. I received the following message, "?????? delegation failed ...". 
   What does it mean?

   ImageMagick uses several freely available packages to perform the
   translation of certain image formats (PostScript, MPEG, etc.). Make
   sure these packages are available as described in the README
   file. Also verify that you have plenty of temporary disk space. If
   not, set the TMPDIR environment variable to an area where space is
   available. Finally, for PostScript, verify that Ghostscript supports
   the pnmraw or ppmraw device (gs -h) and that the document contains
   valid PostScript statements (gs image.ps).

So, I suspect a missing library.
