Image Magick upgrade broke with icewm

Icewm no longer activates Image Magick after Imagick Magic was upgraded. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "no longer activates"? I don't understand what you're trying to do.

Thanks, I've locked the thread. Altough I've read both threads, I didn't realized it was a cross-post.

Icewm will not initiate image magick when the image magick menu item is clicked. However, image magick can be initiated from the command line in xterm.

Strange. I get the same behaviour in FVWM.
I also had another strange problem with the latest imagemagick. I tried to recompile an app with it and the configure script complained that imagemagick wasn't installed. I'll see if I can find the problem.

The launcher of both window managers must be looking in the wrong place for the image magick binary.  It can be run in xterm using 'display'; it must be  X  related.

I tried with the full path and it doesn't work.

It may be that the path was corrupted in the process of pacman's installing the upgrade pkg.
