> Hi, the /command name "import" is allocated for the execline package. > Unfortunately the imagemagick package also provides a command "import", ImageMagick provides a lot of "generic" command names, which don't fit well in a global naming scheme. The problem has been reported to them more times than I can remember ; AFAIK, they didn't answer. Most people I know prefix the ImageMagick command names with "IM", so that there's no confusion. Another approach, better suited to the /package way, might be to always use the explicit path : /opt/ImageMagick/bin/import vs. /package/admin/execline/command/import. -- Ska
