Then you are probably dealing with a quartz version of imagemagick,
since if it was an X11 version, you'd be getting the same error
message as xterm is right now.
What is the output of 'otool -l $(which display)'?
1) Setup your ssh server on the remote system to forward X11:
sudo nano -w /etc/sshd_config
Uncomment the 'X11Forwarding yes' line
2) ssh to the remote server using the '-X -Y' options.
3) Execute 'xterm' on the remote system
xterm should now show up on your local system!
Now you'll just need to get an X11 version of ImageMagick installed on
the remote system.

Hi,
Thanks about the reply and sorry about the confusions. So this is
what I
mean:
server, running x11, has an image A
client, ssh into server, running x11 as well, type imagemagick
command
display, and want image A to appear at the client's side.
However, every time I typed imagemagick command display, the image
showed
up
at the server's side.
If you ran 'display' on the remote machine, and the image appeared
on the
remote machine then you probably have a quartz version of
ImageMagick (but I think that development died off) or your DISPLAY
variable is getting mucked up.
When you ssh over the the remote machine, what is the output of 'echo
$DISPLAY'? What happens when you run 'xterm'?
