I get the error shown below when attempting to install the rmagick gem. I am on Snowleopard 10.6 using RVM, Ruby 1.9.2-head and Rails 3.05. Responses to similar questions recommended installing ImageMagick, which I successfully did. Other suggested installing the "libmagick9-dev library", however, I can not figure out how to do this.
I'm a new developer, and any assistance or directions to an existing explanation or resource is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE
If you're a Mac/OS X user I would HIGHLY recommend using Homebrew as your package installer/manager. You can find it HERE. Since originally asking this question I have removed all my prior installs of things like rmagick and imagemagick, and reinstalled them using Homebrew. Super easy with a huge catalog of packages, and updates/uninstalls are a cinch as well!
When building native Ruby gems, sometimes you'll get an error containing "ruby extconf.rb". This is often caused by missing development libraries for the gem you're installing, or even Ruby itself.
Do you have apt installed on your machine? If not, I'd recommend installing it, because it's a quick and easy way to get a lot of development libraries.
If you see people suggest installing "libmagick9-dev", that's an apt package that you'd install with:
$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev imagemagick
or on centOs:
$ yum install ImageMagick-devel
On Mac OS, you can use Homebrew:
$ brew install imagemagick
The new correct way is to install libmagickwand-dev:
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
Then you should be able to install rmagick no problem.
imagemagick#6 works for me!
brew unlink imagemagick
brew install imagemagick#6 && brew link imagemagick#6 --force
See this thread
Ubuntu 15.10
Note that if you try to install this gem in ubuntu 15.10, then error can happened:
Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find Magick-config in ...
All you need is preload PATH variable with additional path to ImageMagick lib.
PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16:$PATH"
then run gem install rmagick

I finally got it working by utilizing a script for ImageMagick installation on github.
magick-installer ( https://github.com/maddox/magick-installer )
It made a fresh install of ImageMagick, and the RMagick 2.12.2 gem then installed perfectly via bundler.
Thanks to Hulihan Applications for confirming that it was most likely a missing library. I tried the suggestion of using apt-get by installing the package downloader from Fink Project. I ran the following command in terminal, but it couldn't find the libmagick9-dev libary.
$ sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev
$ Password:
$ Reading Package Lists... Done
$ Building Dependency Tree... Done
$ E: Couldn't find package libmagick9-dev
I need to bone up on my UNIX command line skills. The original copy of ImageMagick that I installed from source is still on the machine, but I don't know where exactly or how to remove it. So much to learn...!
Things change...maybe this will help someone else:
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev used to work. But with a later version of imagemagick I needed:
sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
Try
1) apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
2) gem install rmagick
For those who don't want to do the build-from-source approach of the (otherwise excellent installer script by John Maddox, the following worked for me when installing on CentOS 6.2. (Adjust your package manager as necessary).
yum install -y {libwmf,lcms,ghostscript,ImageMagick}{,-devel}
gem install rmagick
Again, this is mainly of interest if you use your distro's package manager and would really prefer to keep it sane.
In some OS you need to use new libraries: libmagick++4 libmagick++-dev
You can use:
sudo apt-get install libmagick++4 libmagick++-dev
Important:
sudo apt-get install libmagick++4 libmagick++-dev
works on linux mint 13 after making updates:
sudo apt-get update
Can't install RMagick 2.13.2. in ubuntu 17.10
My decision
- sudo apt-get purge imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
- sudo apt-get autoremove
- sudo rm /usr/bin/Magick-config
- sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev
Version is required to correctly specify the path to the configuration
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
View version ImageMagick, my version ImageMagick - 6.9.7.
cd ImageMagick-6.9.7/
ls
look at the name of the directory bin-q16 or bin-Q16
Creating a link to the config
sudo ln -s
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-version/bin-directory/Magick-config
/usr/bin/Magick-config
Creating for my version ImageMagick
- sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.9.7/bin-q16/Magick-config /usr/bin/Magick-config
- bundle
in ubuntu 15.10
sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat
did the trick for me
I had to specify version 6
brew install imagemagick#6
brew link --overwrite --force imagemagick#6
If you get an error similar like:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmagickwand-dev : Depends: libmagickcore4-extra (= 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libmagickcore-dev (= 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2) but it is not going to be installed
You might want to start with this package: sudo apt-get install libgvc5
For more details: https://askubuntu.com/a/230958/6506
I ran this issue twice on different machine, first time it was resolved by installing the libmagick9-dev
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev
and second time i have to install the following libraries.
sudo apt-get install libmagick++4 libmagick++-dev
On Mac OS X sudo port install ImageMagick turned out to work fine to fix the gem install rmagick problem . I just didn't know that it worked fine because rvm during installation blew away my .bash_profile contents which included MacPort's addition of /opt/local/bin to PATH. I put back /opt/local/bin into PATH in my .bash_profile and then my gem install rmagick then succeeded.
I had this problem when I had already installed ImageMagick with macports. I ran
port contents ImageMagick | grep config
To find where the config file had been stored and then ran
PATH=(insert your path here):${PATH} bundle
to install the gem using bundler. From now on, if you run a command that needs to reference ImageMagick, you can prefix it with that command. For example I had a migration that referenced it, so I ran
PATH=/opt/local/bin/:${PATH} rake db:migrate
opt/local/bin/ is the path where my config file was stored.
What I did to fix the problem on Ubuntu was
$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
$ sudo apt-get install ImageMagick
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev libmagickcore-dev
gem install rmagick
CentOS:
yum remove ImageMagick
gem uninstall rmagick
yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-last-libs ImageMagick-c++ ImageMagick-c++-devel
gem install rmagick
MacOS:
download and install http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.2
after:
brew uninstall imagemagick
brew link xz jpeg freetype
brew install imagemagick
brew link --overwrite imagemagick
gem install rmagick
execute this in terminal
sudo apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
if its not work than
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/Magick-config /usr/local/bin/Magick-config
for reference
Installing rmagick gem in Ubuntu
sudo aptitude Install Imagemagick and GraphicsMagick(If not aptitude go & install in s/w center)
sudo aptitude Install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
gem install rmagick -v 2.13.1
For CentOS 5/6 this is what worked for me
yum remove ImageMagick
yum install tcl-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel ghostscript-devel bzip2-devel freetype-devel libtiff-devel
mkdir /root/imagemagick
cd /root/imagemagick
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar xzvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-*
./configure --prefix=/usr/ --with-bzlib=yes --with-fontconfig=yes --with-freetype=yes --with-gslib=yes --with-gvc=yes --with-jpeg=yes --with-jp2=yes --with-png=yes --with-tiff=yes
make
make install
For 64 bit do this
cd /usr/lib64
ln -s ../lib/libMagickCore.so.3 libMagickCore.so.3
ln -s ../lib/libMagickWand.so.3 libMagickWand.so.3
Add the missing dependencies
yum install ImageMagick-devel
Then finally rmagick
gem install rmagick
If you need to start fresh remove other installs first with
cd /root/imagemagick/ImageMagick-*
make uninstall
On ubuntu, you also have to install imagemagick and libmagickcore-dev like this :
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
Everything is written in the doc.
After much digging, I fixed this on debian 8.3 using information here:
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/18142073-can-t-install-gem-on-ubuntu-15-04
Specifically:
sudo apt-get purge graphicsmagick graphicsmagick-dbg imagemagick-common imagemagick imagemagick-6.q16 libmagickcore-6-headers libmagickwand-dev
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev
gem install rmagick
Remember to ckeck the archive Gemfile.lock after the instalation.
Remove this archive and execute bundle again.
It works for me in linux :D

While installing the ruby 2.6.6 I'm getting this error:
Error running '__rvm_make -10'
please read /home/.rvm/log/1642694273_ruby-2.6.6/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
I've tried to reinstall rvm but this changes nothing.
Other ruby versions are installed just fine.
rvm install 2.6.6 --with-out-ext=fiddle worked for me
downgrade libssl-dev with:
sudo apt install libssl-dev=1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.4
check the solution in this issue: https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/5209#issuecomment-1134927685
Right click Terminal from the Application/Utilities folder, Get Info, tick the "Open using Rosetta" box.
Uninstall Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
rm -rf /opt/homebrew/*
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
Reinstall Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Restart terminal
Check Homebrew is working fine: brew doctor
Reinstall openssl: brew install openssl
Install Ruby: rvm install 2.5.3 Or any version
In case this helps anyone, none of the posted solutions worked on my intel MacBook Pro. brew doctor however did warn my developer tools were out of date. Uninstalling and reinstalling those allowed me to return to using RVM as normal:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
could you please advise me of a solution you may know for downloading PostgreSQL. I am trying to install 9.6.5 version, but also tried the 10.0, same error.
I am using an installation option for Mac operating system OS Sierra from website: https://www.openscg.com/bigsql/postgresql/installers.jsp/
I am getting an error:
Have tried to run the instruction sudo easy_install pip in the command line and it installs the pip file successfully. However I am still unable to install the PostgreSQL.
Please could you advise what the issue may be?
I have also installed Homebrew (it did not help).
I do already have anaconda and Python installed, as well as latest versions of R and RStudio.
I have now found a solution to the above problem (on Mac). Execute the following command in your terminal:
sudo easy_install-2.6 pip
If that does not work execute:
sudo easy_install-2.7 pip
This allows the PostgreSQL to be downloaded correctly.
I followed the instructions suggesting using easy_install-2.7 but still got an error very similar to that from the OP. I had to specifically install pip 9.0.0 with
sudo easy_install-2.7 pip=9.0.0
after which the PostgreSQL install worked.
The default pip is now v10, so it's probably a string compare issue in the installer.
Here is the solution that worked for me on Mac High Sierra 10.13.4:
Clear out the brew cache $ rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
Clear out the site-packages $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Reinstall Python $ brew reinstall python This pulls down python-3.5.6.high_sierra and put it in /usr/local/bin/python3
But which python still shows /usr/bin/python
The solution is to run $ brew install python#2 which pulls down python#2-2.7.14_3.high_sierra
Now which python shows the correct path /usr/local/bin/python which is also where all your pip stuff is installed, so now pip will work.
Ensure the latest version of pip is installed with $ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Error running 'make', please read /Users/Megha/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p374/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
There is a new experimental way of dealing with dependencies in RVM => https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/pull/1544 :
rvm get branch /features/improved_dependencies
rvm pkg remove
rvm remove 1.9.3
rvm install 1.9.3
You need the command lines tools (install xcode via the app store - then open it to install the command lines tools). I am talking 1Gb+ so it will take some time.
After that, get brew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Update and run brew to install gcc:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install apple-gcc42
Then RVM and ruby 1.9.3 should work:
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
rvm install 1.9.3
I'm using rbenv on my Ubuntu 10.04 server and I already installed ImageMagick, but I can't get RMagick to install successfully. I get the following error message
Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h
Any ideas?
You need to install the development headers for libmagickwand like so:
apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
I had a non-rvm app going and decided to move to RVM. Now I'm noticing paperclip failing as ImageMagick isn't available.
[paperclip] An error was received while processing: #<Paperclip::CommandNotFoundError: Could not run the `identify` command. Please install ImageMagick.>
What's the right way to get ImageMagick installed on RVM?
On OS X if you have brew installed, you can simply use the following command:
brew install imagemagick
ImageMagick isn't a gem, it's a normal packet. On debian, the package name is imagemagick. You can install it via apt-get install imagemagick as root.
None of the above worked (on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit)
I had to
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
then
gem install rmagick
(in Rails 3.1)
On ubuntu, but this might also work on MacOS. You def want to compile from source when using ruby. Here the script I use
*install_imagemagick.sh*
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ~/local
command -v identify > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
echo "${bldgrn}Installing imagemagick into ${txtwht}$HOME/local/imagemagick${txtrst}"
wget -N --retr-symlinks ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-*
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/imagemagick
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf ImageMagick-*
fi
Then I add this to my ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export PATH=$HOME/local/imagemagick/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/imagemagick/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then you can install your ruby bindings if necessary:
gem install rmagick
For Cygwin, remember to use:
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz
instead of:
http://cygwin.com/packages/ImageMagick/
If you are on Ubuntu, you can install the package using:
apt-get install imagemagick
