“rmagick” gem installation issue

Question

I am having issue while trying to install \"rmagick\" gem on centos. Following is the output I am having. Can anyone please help me identifying what package I am missing

Answer 1

The problem is, as the error puts it,

Package MagickCore was not found in the pkg-config search path

The solution is also suggested there:

add the directory containing MagickCore.pc to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

So,

1. Find MagickCore.pc location:

   sudo find / -name MagickCore.pc
   

2. If it is not found, probably ImageMagick is not installed on your system — then install it (Google how to do it, as it depends on the OS)

3. Save it to the ENV var like that (make sure to put the path found in step 1):

   PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
   

4. Retry installing RMagick
