Question

I have installed about 40 other gems but this one can’t install due to this error:

Installing rmagick (2.13.1) with native extensions
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
–with-opt-dir
–with-opt-include
–without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
–with-opt-lib
–without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
–with-make-prog
–without-make-prog

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@ruby1.9.2_Abroad101/gems/rmagick-2.13.1 for inspection.

An error occured while installing rmagick (2.13.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1' succeeds before bundling.

I tried this link https://github.com/maddox/magick-installer
but it errored out at the end with:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/freetype2.pc \
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
tar: Unrecognized archive format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Right now I am trying Veraticus’ solution, then I will try Peters if necessary.

Answer 1

What I found here perfectly works on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev imagemagick libmagickwand-dev

and then,

bundle install

as usual.
