import, convert, animate, and display?

I merged imagemagick, but import, convert, animate, and display are still nowhere to be seen. I did an updatedb followed by "locate convert" and such, but nothing comes up. I took a look at /var/db/pkg/media-gfx/imagemagick-5.4.7/CONTENTS and any of the above-mentioned utilities are not present there. What gives?[/quote]

I've already done that. I did a updatedb followed by "locate convert". I get a bunch of things, but none of them are the ones I want (I get things like sfconvert, and other non-imagemagick-related files with the word "convert" in them). The CONTENTS file does not appear to have /usr/bin/convert (or "convert" at all) in it. I've unmerged it and remerged it, but I still don't get the binaries I want. It seems to be only compiling the perl module.

What are your USE flags? Do you see any error messages when compiling imagemagick?
