I managed to fix my problem, but I'm not sure why Sage is doing this. I copied convert from /opt/local/bin to /tmp/sage-mac-app/local/bin, and this seemed to do the trick. I'm not really sure why this hack fixed the problem. It seems that Sage should be able to look elsewhere for files.

Oddly enough, convert does work in the terminal, and a = animate(...), a.show() works in the terminal. The error message I am getting only occurs when I try to call a.show() from a worksheet in the sage notebook on my computer.

I really don't much experience with the linux bash shell. Can you be more specific? I know that macports programs are installed in /opt/local, which is already in my .bash_profile. What else do I need to add?

Thank you for the response. I installed imgagemagick via macports, I assume it should have installed everything properly, but I'm not sure. Do you have any experience with macports?

I have imagemagick installed on my OS X Snow Leopard machine. When I try to do animation on a notebook on my machine I get the error:

"/tmp/sage-mac-app/local/bin/sage-native-execute: line 8: convert: command not found

Error: ImageMagick does not appear to be installed. Saving an animation to a GIF file or displaying an animation requires ImageMagick, so please install it and try again.

See www.imagemagick.org, for example."

Any idea why this would fail even though the convert command works in my terminal prompt?

edit I should point out that in the terminal session, the show() method does generate a gif with several pictures. In notebook, however, I get the above error.
