Answer 1

If you tried all solutions, of all posts of whole Internet, have installed and reinstalled many times all indicated packages in all Linux or Mac distributions/versions (even in Windows) and it still not working, close your terminal and open it again. Some times, even if your reload all shell environment, only after I reopen the terminal the bundle install was successfully completed.

On CentOS 5.7, I got it to work by first specifying PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/src/ImageMagick-6.7.5-10/magick/

gem install rmagick

I was getting the same error and it got resolved after installing the libmagick9-dev library on ubuntu 11.

Update (Thanks to the commenters - Dec. 2012)

$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev or $ sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat for ubuntu 12

$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev or $ sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev for ubuntu 11 or below.

$ yum install ImageMagick-devel for centos

$ brew install imagemagick for Mac OS (using Homebrew)
