Problems converting gmeta to png

Hello:

I am having difficulties converting single frame gmeta files to png format. One procedure that has worked in the past is to
have ctrans convert the gmeta frame to Sun raster format, and pipe the output to the ImageMagick convert program which then generates the png. However, on our Opteron Beowulf cluster, convert is giving me a "Colormap type not supported" error message, while the GNU GIMP program spits out "This image depth is not supported". I'm working on having the latest version of ImageMagick installed on our machine (6.1.8 instead of 5.5.6), but the fact that GIMP can't read it either makes me wonder if ctrans is doing something wrong.

The NCAR Graphics package we're using is 4.4.0, built with pgf90 5.2-4 and gcc 3.3.2. We are running Fedora 2.4.22-1.2197.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Eric Kemp
