I installed the ImageMagick binary but when I try to install RMagick (gem) I get the foloowing error- /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb install rmagick checking for Ruby version \>= 1.8.2… yes checking for gcc… yes checking for Magick-config… no Can’t install RMagick 2.9.1. Can’t find Magick-config in /usr/local/ bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin \*\*\* extconf.rb failed \*\*\* Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. What do I need to do? ---

I tried to fix by reinstalling the Rmagick Gem, got the same error as above. I ended up installing librmagick-ruby and friends, this fixed my Rmagick problem,but I still can install as gem, which would be my prefferance. I post here if I find solution. ---
