As happened to the original poster, when I tried a simple example, I got the "convert: bad parameters..." etc. messages. I have both ImageMagick and ghostscript installed (and have uninstalled and re-installed them as David suggested). Working from within
ImageMagick I can successfully convert a .PS image to .PNG which would suggest that ImageMagick is communicating correctly with ghostscript. I also have tried using the GS_PATH keyword to be sure IDL knows where ghostscript (gs) is installed but this doesn't seem to make any difference.

Since this is a "file not found" message, I wonder if you have
permission to write the PostScript file in that directory. That is the
only reason I can think of that it wouldn't be found there.

Try writing the PostScript file to your local home directory and see if
that helps.

If this is not the problem, then I would set the ShowCmd keyword on
cgPS_Close so you can see the ImageMagick command that is spawned. I
would tease that command apart at the UNIX command line to see if you
can figure out what ImageMagick thinks is wrong with it.

Cheers,

David
