Re: imagemagick errors under cygwin on 64-bit Win 7 system

[Paul Thompson <patjahsd at gmail dot com>]

I thought I submitted to the right queue, but clearly did not. Perhaps
my mail did not get received.

I have run cygcheck as requested and attached the output cygcheck.out
to this email

I run the following commands:

d2u dirlist.txt
convert "Brausch 1946-1950-901.jpg" -resize 300000@ -filter Lanczos
-adaptive-sharpen 2x3 -quality 95 -sampling-factor 2x1 zimg002.miff
montage -label "D Brausch Wedding,1951" zimg002.miff -font Arial
-pointsize 20 -frame 40 -geometry +0+0 zimg002.png

I ran these commands using cygwin imagemagick downloaded
independently, and all runs cleanly.

Under cygwin imagemagick, I get errors as shown below.

The convert command works seems to run fine (no errors). With the
montage command, I get:
