The _very_ first install of ImageMagick on a new system seems to be incomplete or erroneous. After that all emerges seem to work fine. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 0. * imagemagick should not yet have been installed on the machine _ever_! * 1. emerge imagemagick 2. convert 3. emerge imagemagick 4. convert Actual Results: at step 2: /usr/bin/convert: error: `/usr/bin/.libs/convert' does not exist This script is just a wrapper for convert. See the libtool documentation for more information. at step 4: Proper display of the convert utility help page Expected Results: Proper display of the convert utility help page at step 2. The _very_ first install of ImageMagick on a new system seems to be incomplete or wrong. After emerge and trying to run 'convert' utility it returns this error: /usr/bin/convert: error: `/usr/bin/.libs/convert' does not exist This script is just a wrapper for convert. See the libtool documentation for more information. Fortunately I have found a hint in the forums that said that reemerging Imagemagick solves the issue. Indeed I have simply reemerged the same version of Imagemagick again and the utility started working as expected. Like the forum example shows this may cause an emerge of a package that requires ImageMagick (command utilities only perhaps) and installs it as a first install on the system to fail.
