Dean,

I asked this same question on this list a while ago. One or two other people
have asked it since then. I have not yet seen any constructive answer.

I also thought that there may be some problem writing to /tmp so I changed the
tmp directory used by ImageMagick to a tmp directory on a disc where I know
there is plenty of space and to which I have write permission. But I still
got the same error.

I have upgraded the version of GhostScript which ImageMagick uses to the latest
version (the standard one on our system is rather out-of-date). But that hasn't
solved the problem.

I used gcc to compile ImageMagick (to get round a different problem) so that
is not the answer.

Apologies for sending out a negative reply, but I am hoping to learn the answer
to this problem eventually :)

	Ann

Magick users,

I need some hints here.  This is the second time I have compiled this 
package.  And I get the same error when running it.

dean@hangar% /usr/local/src/ImageMagick/display p936.pdf

display: Unable to open file (/tmp/magickb003bv) [No such file or 
directory].
display: Portable Document translation failed (/tmp/magickb003bv) [No 
such file or directory].


it doesn't matter what I try to view.  I always get an error when 
trying to read a file from /tmp.

Every host in the lab has a tmp dir like this:
drwxrwxrwt   6 sys      sys         5632 Feb 25 15:00 tmp/

anyone can WRITE to this dir..  

It was compiled with sun's c compiler.  should it be compiled with 
gcc?
