When I try do install rmagick I get the following error message: Can’t install

  • 0

When I try do install rmagick I get the following error message:

Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
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.

I’m on Mac OSX 10.6.8, ruby 1.9.2p290, rvm 1.10.2.

Can anyone help me please to solve this problem.

    I had a similar issue with running

    $ gem install rmagick
    

    First of all, do you have imagemagick installed? If you’re not sure, run

    $ convert --version
    

    If you do, you probably either installed it with fink or macports (maybe homebrew?). What is happening is that rvm can’t find the imagemagick directory.

    After reading
    https://superuser.com/questions/361435/i-have-compiled-imagemagick-on-my-centos-and-rmagick-wont-install
    I exported the imagemagick path by adding

    $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
    

    to my ~/.bash_profile, sourcing the new profile, then running:

    gem install rmagick
    

    It worked for me after I did this.
