I’m trying to compile RMagick 1.14.0 on Dreamhost with Ruby 1.8.5 and  
ImageMagick 6.3.0. I’m installing this all locally in my home directory  
as I like to be able to maintain my own packages.

Anyway, Ruby and ImageMagick compiled with no problems. When I try to  
compile RMagick, either from the source or using the gem, I get the  
following (this is actually from an attempt at compiling 1.13.0, but  
the same error in both versions):

—\> lib

As a result, the RMagic.so file never gets created and RMagic is not  
usable. I’m not sure where to go from here. Any help?

Thanks,  
Nate

Nate,

ImageMagick 6.3.0 was just released a day or so ago. I’ve been  
out-of-town so I haven’t had time to investigate what changed. I’ll  
release a new version of RMagick soon, but if you’re in a hurry get a  
copy of ImageMagick 6.2.9 and use it instead.

Tim,

That did it! Thanks for the quick reply.  
Everything seems to be working fine with ImageMagick 6.2.9.
