imagemagick - ghostscript

[phppete]

I was just trying some imagemagick stuff locally and I was unable to annotate due to not having ghostscript installed, so I have installed it and now all works as expected. I tried the same example on FQ server SAMSON and it appears ghostscript is not installed. Can you please install ghostscript on all FQ servers please for use with imagemagick, thanks.

Ghostscript falls into the same classification as PDF creation and is not available on any servers due to the processing overhead as well as it being an overall maintenance nightmare with all of its dependencies...

However, ghostscript is ear marked for the next server core and I will revisit its availability once the new core has been released into production...

That is a little disappointing but on a positive note its certainly not as disappointing as no plans for full transaction support is it.
