This is wrong. The proper variable name is xcMisc(ImageMagick.convert) 
and not "converter". The reason it works is because the 1.5.* version
finds the packages automatically, and the specification of
xcMisc(ImageMagick.convert) is redundant (or optional).

Fendy, did you check that your ImageMagick indeed works as expected?
Find a given, say PNG, graphics file and try to convert it manually as:

convert file.png file.jpg

Does it work? If it does then you may try to convert some PPM file
(i.e. take it from xcrysden scratch directory,
e.g., /home/revival/xcrys_temp/xc_****/tmp.ppm)
