Ahem, I have to admit that I messed it up a bit, because
(it was sometime last year) at first I had still an older version
of IM, and after reading about the new FFT feature, I made
the mistake to try to compile a newer version (from source) in
addition to having the old version on my system. I created a new
directory (I think in /usr/share) and compiled (or at least tried to)
the newer version there. When this apparently didn't work, I deleted
the new directory again, but since then I got those error messages.

No, I am getting

convert: UnableToOpenBlob `logo:':  @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.
convert: MissingAnImageFilename `logo.jpg' @ 
convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2838.

Interesting: I have been getting this after uninstalling my present
IM 6.5.8-10 (I had forgotten that I uninstalled it. I now installed it
again from the Ubuntu sources, butI am still getting this error message,
like

display: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @ 
configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
display: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `sandrin_karte.jpg' @ 
constitute.c/ReadImage/531.
display: UnableToOpenBlob `logo:': ,??? @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.

Do you mean 'delegates.xml'? Where is this supposed to
be located?

Could it be that I have some files from my unsuccessful compilation
somewhere, and that I would have to delete them first? Where could
I look after those files?

TIA,
