Gem install rmagick requires imagemagick

Thufir · 22 March 2012 12:44

I was trying to just do a CLI short (very short) script with activerecord
and sqlite3, and in tracing back some errors ended at:

Now, it looks like I just use apt-get to install imagemagick on Ubuntu
11.10, but that seems off, in that gems should be system independent, to
my understanding.

This gem requires that I install a non-gem piece of software?

thanks,

Sigh. Do I have to re-install ruby or something? Or are these gems the
problem? Seems more likely that my computer is, though.

If the purpose of a gem is to interface with another program, then
yes, you need that program (or typically some of it's source libraries)
on your system.

"Building native extensions." is a pretty good clue that a gem isn't
pure Ruby, e.g. "system independent"

In this case, perhaps this will help:

HTH,

Thanks, guys. Almost seventy packages getting pulled in! Hopefully,
that will fix it.

Success!

I also had to install ImageMagick itself for MagicWand.h which was
holding things up. Basically, anything with "magick" I installed.

Kinda forget why I wanted that gem, now, LOL. Something to do with
ActiveRecord.
