Dear all, I am at a loss installing Rmagick on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) - tried both compiling from source and the gem – I’ve read the documentation FAQ and tried several font configuration tools… but when I install Rmagick, I still get loads of errors like: RMagick: unable to read font `/usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.1/config//usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb’. My fonts are actually in /usr/share/type1/gsfonts … Where in the Makefile of RMagick can I specify this directory ? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, Axel ---

When you run ImageMagick’s configuration script, use the --with-gs-font-dir option: ./configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/type1/gsfonts …other options… See [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-linux.html](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-linux.html) and [http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advanced-unix-installation.php](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advanced-unix-installation.php) for more information, and drop me a line at rmagick at rubyforge dot org if you need help. Good luck!
