If you use ImageMagick it is recommend to have GhostScript installed because then ImageMagick is able to convert PS, PDF, EPS, AI files and so on too.

yes and no - but phpwcms does not use GhostScript itself. This is only ImageMagick handles itself. If no GhostScript ImageMagick does not support some picture formats.

Have you tried GD2 for image converting?
