[TYPO3] Problem with GraphicsMagick

Why do you need to install it manually on a RedHat system when there 
should exist .rpm for that. But it was just a rethorical question, you 
may need to compile it yourself from source.

OK.

This means your install is working at least a bit otherwise you wouldn't 
get anything. For pdf and ai, when using imagemagick, you get pretty 
well understandable error messages that you need to install ghostscript 
in addition if you plan to work with PDF (and AI I think). That is, 
without ghostscript, you won't be able to read those filetypes.
