I’m planning on using RMagick to do thumbnails for a Rails project.
Installed RMagick using ‘gem install rmagick’
Here are last few lines…
gcc -fPIC -Wall -g -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux
make install
post-install.rb: installing documentation…
‘post-setup.rb’ error codes worry me…
Tried using it anyway as installation reported as ‘successful’ anyway.
Rails complained about not finding the methods.
tried testing the “require ‘RMagick’” in irb.
LoadError: no such file to load – RMagick
tried the sample script from the ‘Users Guide’
require ‘RMagick’
cat = ImageList.new(“Cheetah.jpg”)
Results:
Rmagicktest.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load – RMagick
Checked locations of Rmagick.so and libMagick.so
locate RMagick.so
No 'usr/local/lib/ to worry about…
Any ideas on where to look/ how to fix?
Thanks,
Lance F. Squire

Running the irb or ruby tests above produce the same results under root.
Still stumped…

If you are using a library installed with gems, you will need to
require ‘rubygems’
first. Give that a try.

This dose make the test code from the ‘Users guide’ work.
Though you would think they would have included it…

Well, as Rails is working properly, and was installed the same way, I
Can’t find relevent ld.so to check…

This at least gives me a new error message.

Previous rails error was:

no prob.
it looks RMagick compiled ok - otherwise you wouldn’t have an so…
what do these commands do for you

if that doesn’t work try
