Hi folks,

Was wondering if anyone could interpret this for me … trying to get  
RMagick installed, and it won’t work either through a gem install or by  
making it. I’m not sure exactly what to search for to find a solution.

Thanks!

Do you have ImageMagick installed?

Yes; I installed it right before trying to install RMagick.

Ok, the problem is that it can not find libMagick.so.10. It could be  
missing from the ld path. Try running /sbin/ldconfig and see if that  
helps. If not, find the location of that file, add the directory to  
/etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig again. That should do it.

Hi there,

I tried running /sbin/ldconfig and re-running the install, same problem.  
I also added /usr/local/lib/libMagick.so.10 to ld.so.conf, and I’m still  
getting the same error.

Any additional thoughts?
