ImageMagick with Homebrew

Question

I am installing ImageMagick with Homebrew by doing brew install imagemagick --with-x11.

Many of the commands like convert, display, montage work fine but animate does not work.

$ animate
-bash: /opt/ImageMagick/bin/animate: No such file or directory

I've tried using the --HEAD flag and also uninstalling using brew and reinstalling but the same error still persist.

You should have a look at the ${FORMULA} used by your homebrew-ed installation:

brew edit imagemagick

This will open a file in a text editor listing all settings and commands used to build your homebrew-ed ImageMagick.

Do you discover anything in there that may disable the building of animate?

Also to check:

• Did you run brew update?

• Did you run brew doctor? Did you follow all recommendations the brew-doctor told you?

• What version of homebrew do you use (brew --version)?

• What is the output of brew --env and brew --config?

• Did you install into a non-recommended directory? Looks like, looking at your attempt to run /opt/ImageMagick/bin/animate...

  Did you try ls -l /opt/local/ImageMagick*/bin/ | grep animate ?
