Installing RMagick gem — Can't find MagickWand.h

Question

I am installing the rmagick gem on OSX 10.6.8, using gem install rmagick, and I am getting the following error

    Can\'t install RMagick 2.13.1         


        

Answer 1

I am on OS X El Capitan.

My app is using ruby 2.1.2 and rmagick 2.13.4.

When using brew install imagemagick I get ImageMagick -v 7.0.4-5.

The solution for me was to use brew install imagemagick@6 which gave me ImageMagick -v 6.9.7-5 which allowed me to successfully install the gem.
