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

Turns out the answer was in Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h. after all. I had just followed the suggestion incorrectly.

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick gem install rmagick

This installed rmagick gem successfully.

Unfortunately, rmagic is still not working with CarrierWave :-(, but that is a different problem altogether.

Answer 2

1) install by installer

http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/

2) try gem install rmagick

if checking for wand/MagickWand.h... no
type

mdfind MagickWand.h

find some thing like

/Users/user/ImageMagick-6.8.3/include/ImageMagick-6/wand/MagickWand.h

and type in terminal

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/Users/user/ImageMagick-6.8.3/include/ImageMagick-6/ gem install rmagick

if, after that you have this error (because a had it) "Package MagickCore was not found in the pkg-config search path."

type

mdfind MagickCore.pc

find some thing like /opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/MagickCore.pc

and finally in terminal type:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick

Answer 3

The only thing that worked for me on OSX El Capitan (10.11.6) was cloning this repository:

https://github.com/zagros/imagemagick-rmagic-el-captian

And following compile steps for each library described on that github page, but with slight modification.

The imagemagick itself in stuff folder is already compiled and lacks configure script, so I took other image magick from stuff sierra extracted it and compiled, installed and after that gem install rmagick worked.
