You can try making symlink to identify from your directory to usr/bin directory.

ln -s /your/imagemagick/path/identify /usr/bin/identify

    I am using ImageMagick-6.7.4 with rails 3 and also installed the paperclip gem to my application. I followed this guide to install imagemagick and it works from my terminal but not with my rails app. I have included the path for the identify command in my development.rb as

    Paperclip.options[:command_path]='/path-where-my-identify-got-installed/'
    

    but it still gives me an error as

    Command :: identify -format %wx%h'/var/folders/Cd/CdjXsnlyEPyFqs4pwH83T++++TI/-Tmp-/stream20120104-2402-5iizym-0.png[0]'[paperclip] An error was received while processing: #<Paperclip::CommandNotFoundError: Could not run the `identify` command.

    Or add /your/imagemagick/path to $PATH (however you'd do that in the context of a Rails app).

    thank you so much for your response now things works fine for me with a change now my identity path is Paperclip.options[:command_path]="/opt/local/bin/" but previously i have installed it inside my home folder i am not sure whether this made the difference but it works now
