1) Did you try `w3m http://www.google.com', and did you find images on
that page?
2) I am assuming that you gave yourself execute permissions to the
w3mimgdisplay file. At any rate, please tell the output of
`ls -l /path/to/w3mimgdisplay'.
3) w3mimgdisplay is not working correctly! w3mimgdisplay is
not supposed to use ImageMagick, but render the images natively.
Going through the w3m-img code for X11 (x11_w3mimg.c) file, I find
that any one of three libraries is required for rendering images:
* Imlib
* Imlib2
* Gdk-pixbuf/GTK2
(mentioned in that order in the source code)
Is any of the above available on your system? Further, did you use the
optional option `--with-imagelib=<…>' while configuring the w3m source
code? (This is necessary for w3m to be built with image-rendering
support. Check the w3m-n.n.n/configue' file.)
4) Just for curiosity, can you please tell how you are opening the
image using ImageMagick via the command `w3mimgdisplay'? (i.e. what is
the command you are typing?)

5) This is interesting, but I don’t know what this means.

I (with a working w3mimgdisplay+ranger installation) don’t have a
w3mimgdisplay option on pressing `r' either. (And, in any case, it
would not help, as there is an elaborate mechanism to communicate with
the w3mimgdisplay library; not just `command <filename>'!)
