Hi !

I would like to install the rmagick gem under ruby ree-1.8.7. Like every time, the installation routine does complain about two different version being installed which are actually the same. I have every, really every imagemagick package installed:

ImageMagick-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
GraphicsMagick-1.3.12-1.15.i586
libMagick++3-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
libGraphicsMagick3-1.3.12-1.15.i586
libGraphicsMagick++-devel-1.3.12-1.15.i586
ImageMagick-extra-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
libGraphicsMagickWand2-1.3.12-1.15.i586
libMagickWand3-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
libMagick++-devel-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
GraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.12-1.15.i586
libMagickCore3-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
ImageMagick-devel-6.6.1.0-3.8.i586
libGraphicsMagick++3-1.3.12-1.15.i586

but still all I get is this:

gem install rmagick

Anybody know how to get around this?

Cheers J.

On my installation there is nothing under X11; so I presume the sensible thing is to get rid of everything under X11.

I just had to solve this same problem. It’s not that you don’t have ImageMagick Installed correctly, but its a newer version then what rmagick can handle. You need to install at least 6.4.x manually from source. At least thats what I had to do. Maybe you could get the latest rmagick from source and try that instead, but installing an older version of ImageMagick worked for me.

(Check out the mkmf.log file to see the actual errors from the build)
