convert: No decode delegate for this image format (jpeg)

[R. Stacy Cook]

Remco,

Can you provide me with more details???

I can't even get ImageMagick to install properly so it doesn't register when I try to do port upgrade I get...

** No such package 'ImageMagick-5.5.7' is installed.

Any help is appreciated.

I noted the same problem last week and decovered the imagemagick
port does not support the jpeg codec by default any more..  To
fix this you need to rebuild, doing something like:

   portupgrade -f -m '-DWITH_JPEG' ImageMagick-5.5.6_1

Other formats, like png, need to be added in the same way.  A
real annoyance, IMO.

HTH,
