I used a script to install ImageMagick http://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl
After a while, I got ImageMagick installed.
Then I ran sudo gem install rm
For those who got
InitializeMagick() in -lMagickCore... no; -lMagick... no; -lMagick++... no;
this worked for me in OS X 10.8: https://github.com/maddox/magick-installer
From here: RVM + Ruby 1.9.2 + Rmagick + Lion = System Works, RVM Doesn't
you need the imagemagick libraries under ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
it contains all missing libraires
then run bundle install
command
Initially, I came around to installing rmagick because it seemed to be a dependency when I tried installing libgtk2.0-dev
. I was trying to install that package, because the RGtk2.0
is a requirement for using R package called rattle
.
Anyway, none of the above solutions worked for me in installing in my Ubuntu 12.04. Even running sudo apt-get update
first didn't seem to help, nor this related posting: Installing rmagick on Ubuntu
I eventually found what works is to troubleshoot using sudo aptitude
rather than apt-get
.

I recommend the technique of using aptitude
to work through the package installation issue.
On Mac Os X, check if /opt/local/bin
is in your PATH
. If not:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
sudo gem install rmagick
This worked for me!
I believe you need the Imagemagick libraries.
If you are using Homebrew (which I'd highly recommend), simply do
$ brew install imagemagick
Then rerun bundle install
I had an issue installing Rmagick gem version 2.13.2 on Debian Jessie. After fighting with the packages in the other answers, I upgraded the version of the Rmagick gem from 2.13.2 to the latest (2.16.0 at time of writing). This installed successfully.
bundle update rmagick
