Please can anyone explain (to a newbie) how to compile imagemagick (ie tell imagemegick where to find ghostscript) so that I can use imagemagick to produce thumbnail images in Gallery2. (i understand this cant be done in gallery3 yet)

- I gather that I need to change the delegates.xml file in imagemagick?

I have installed Gallery 2.3.1 using WAMP 2.1 as my test server (ie PHP 5.3.5) and have downloaded the following to my C:\ drive
imagemagick 6.7.0
ghostscript 8.71

Gallery2 admin shows that imagemagick is installed and working however I do not know how to have this point to ghostscript.

If it were me, I'd make sure they were installed into paths like:

c:\im

c:\gs

And make sure that the paths to their binary files are in the %PATH% system environment variable.
