Re: ImageMagick 'convert' program broken, error in cyggs-9.dll x86_64/release/ghostscript/libgs9/libgs9-9.27-1.tar.xz

[Massimiliano Alvioli <nocharge at gmail dot com>]

I actually run into the same problem: convert is unable to convert eps
files to png files,
right after an update, like a month ago. I updated everything again a
couple of times
since then, but still it does not work. I am running cygwin in windows
10, here are my
settings:

> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 ventress 3.0.7(0.338/5/3) 2019-04-30 18:08 x86_64 Cygwin

> /lib/csih/winProductName.exe
Microsoft Windows 10 Professional, 64-bit (build 17763)

and the output of strace on convert.exe is attached.

Any help greatly appreciated, since I've been sending my eps files to
a linux box, running
convert there, and copying files back for quite some time ..
