Warning: Command failed: identify: unable to load

Answer 1

OSX Mavericks seems break the link of jpeg lib. All you need to do is relink the jpeg, then reinstall imagemagick.

brew unlink jpeg
brew link jpeg

Then reinstall imagemagick from source

brew uninstall imagemagick
brew install imagemagick --build-from-source

Now you can check if jpeg is in the delegate

identify -list configure | grep DELEGATES

It should have jpeg now

DELEGATES bzlib mpeg freetype jng jpeg lcms lzma png tiff xml zlib
