Hey there,

Has anybody determined yet if it is necessary to build ImageMagick and  
its libraries before installing the specific RMagick gem on Media  
Temple grid (gs) ??–apart from the dedicated plan. From what I have  
gathered from the limited mt documentation and a few stray blogs out  
there, its a pain in the ass to build from scratch-- more so without  
root access. This is my first deployment from a windows machine and  
have to say, the development process was a walk in the park in  
contrast to this rollout …Saw this question posed before but with  
no definitive answers…thanks for the heads up if anybody should  
know!

Blaine

Update to anybody who might need to know:

ImageMagick is already installed on (gs) in /user/bin/
