Setting up rmagick on Ubuntu
by Emmanuel on February 06, 2008
I wanted to update rmagick to the latest version of the gem, so I ran
sudo gem install rmagick
The version that was going to be installed was 2.1.0, and it needed ImageMagick lib 6.3.x.
I went ahead and downloaded 6.3.8 from ImageMagick site (couldn’t use apt-get this time, latest version on repositories I found was 6.2.4.5). I had a previous version of ImageMagick laying on my system. So I ran:
sudo apt-get remove imagemagick tar xvvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz cd ImageMagick ./configure –prefix=/usr make sudo make install sudo gem install rmagick sudo gem install rmagick -v 1.15.12 // if you want rmagick v1 installed.
That’s all!
