You're calling that wrong, the second parameter expects a pointer to a 
BOOL, not an actual BOOL. The correct syntax is:

BOOL directory;
BOOL exists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:@"/
ImageMagick/" isDirectory:&directory];

But anyway, you're probably best getting the directory contents of 
where ImageMagick should be installed and running through it. I'm not 
familiar with ImageMagick; I don't even know what it is! But you 
should bear in mind that if it's relocatable you'll want to check all 
the possible locations.

Take a look at NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains() in the docs.
