Had this error while running this script:

for frame in 1 : length(sim.states)
     s = render(sim.states[frame], sim.roadway, cam=FitToContentCamera(), car_colors=carcolors)
    push!(frames, s)
end
println("creating gif...")
write("gif.gif", frames)

Any insight on how to resolve this?

Looks like it's picking up the wrong convert?

what does your deps/deps.jl say? in Pkg.dir("ImageMagick");

[salsaif]

This is what I get from Pkg.dir("ImageMagick"):
"C:\Users\sauda\.julia\v0.5\ImageMagick"

[musm]

I mean the file called deps.jl within that folder

[salsaif]

# Pre-hooks
function init_deps()
    ENV["MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH"]    = "C:\\Users\\sauda\\.julia\\v0.5\\ImageMagick\\deps\\usr\\lib\\x64"
    ENV["MAGICK_CODER_MODULE_PATH"] = "C:\\Users\\sauda\\.julia\\v0.5\\ImageMagick\\deps\\usr\\lib\\x64"
end
init_deps()

# Macro to load a library
macro checked_lib(libname, path)
    ((VERSION >= v"0.4.0-dev+3844" ? Base.Libdl.dlopen_e : Base.dlopen_e)(path) == C_NULL) && error("Unable to load \n\n$libname ($path)\n\nPlease re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
    quote const $(esc(libname)) = $path end
end

# Load dependencies
@checked_lib libwand "C:\\Users\\sauda\\.julia\\v0.5\\ImageMagick\\deps\\usr\\lib\\x64\\CORE_RL_wand_.DLL"

# Load-hooks

[musm]

btw can you please try and delete everything in that folder except build.jl and then start julia and do Pkg.build("ImageMagick") and report back?

[salsaif]

Same error

[musm]

so doing Pkg.build results in no errors?

what happens when you do

using ImageMagick
Pkg.test("ImageMagick")

can you copy ane paste the result
its hard to see what's triggering the error from you stacktrace in the post

[salsaif]

Pkg.build ran fine.

Pkg.test returned this:

[musm]

Well basically it's picking up the convert function in C:\Windows instead of the one downloaded by BinDeps. Now why this is happening makes no sense. As a note I too am on Windows but can't seem to replicate the issue.
