I still don't get it. I have both the qt version and Henschel's
cygwin version installed. I read in a few older posts in this
mailing list that other people had similar problems.
I started lyx qt 1.3.2 with -dbg graphics in a command line, opened
a file and tried to display the eps file approxseries1.eps (which is
a perfect eps file and can be displayed by gsview):

c:\program files\imagemagick-5.5.7-q16\convert.exe: DPS library is not available

Image conversion succeeded.
Unable to find converted file!
--snip--
This log apparently shows that ImageMagick's convert.exe is invoked
correctly and that convert.exe itself calls gswin32c.exe to handle
the ps stuff. The ImageMagick path is included in $PATH before
the Windows system path.
The last convert.exe message "DPS library not available" is caused
by ImageMagick looking for an other way to handle ps (as far as I
know) but DPS is not installed.
For some reason ghostscript cannot find the file to convert
("/undefinedfilename"). I tried different gs versions and different
windows ImageMagick versions and still it's the same error.
I also tried changing the temp dir as suggested on the imagemagick
list (no spaces included) to no effect.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imagemagick-user&m=102696364919353&w=2
A workaround (which doesn't crop eps files to their bounding boxes)
is adding a converter like
\converter "eps" "ppm" "gswin32c.exe -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ppm
-r72 -sOutputFile=$$o -c save pop -f $$i" ""
(written in one line in the preferences file).
As invoking the convert command from command line doesn't work and
generates the same error message it must be a problem with
Imagemagick cooperating with ghostscript.
I know, it's a minor bug and lyx isn't even responsible, but I'd
really appreciate if somebody had a solution to this problem (or
some new ideas). The qt interface looks so great that I could
convince a couple of friends to use lyx easily if just that
previewing would work.
It would especially be helpful if people who have a working
configuration (versions of ImageMagick/GS) could mail details to the
list.
TIA
