OSX: Can't install RMagick. Can't find the ImageMagick lib

Hi all

I’m trying to install RMagick because one of my used plugins for RoR
needs it. But I have no idea how to do this. So I just tried

sudo gem install rmagick

But I’m getting the following error:

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

post those files.
Also you may need to install imagemagick
I’d install macports
then
sudo port install ImageMagick
maybe it will work

I’ve installed it, but it doesn’t seem to be in the path, “port” is not
found. Where is it located?

then
sudo port install ImageMagick
maybe it will work

Thanks so far

Dang I hate it when port upchucks.
One thing you can do is go to the macports irc and ask if this is a
common problem.

I don’t have a specific answer to your problem above, but I have found
that this site has helped with many RMagick installation related
questions and problems.
