RMagick on OSX

Howdy,

I have followed the instructions to get RMagick installed on OS X Tiger.

I got all the way to the last two steps and it failed. I am using the OS X
install instructions in the tarball.

I get this when I 'make' RMagick:

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ make
/usr/bin/ruby install.rb config
install.rb: entering config phase...
---> lib
---> lib/rvg
<--- lib/rvg
<--- lib
---> ext
---> ext/RMagick
/usr/bin/ruby /Users/hunter/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3/ext/RMagick/extconf.rb
install.rb:400: warning: Insecure world writable dir /Users/hunter/Unix,
mode 040777
can't find header files for ruby.
config failed
'system /usr/bin/ruby
/Users/hunter/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3/ext/RMagick/extconf.rb ' failed
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage
make: *** [config.save] Error 1

Ruby was part of the system:

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ ls /usr/lib/ruby
1.8 gems site_ruby

So, I tried several other options:

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ ruby install.rb
--std-ruby=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8 install
unknown global option '--std-ruby=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8'
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage
aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ ruby install.rb
--std-ruby=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8 config
unknown global option '--std-ruby=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8'
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage
aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ ruby install.rb install
--std-ruby=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
install.rb config first
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hunter

Howdy, Hunter!

That message means extconf.rb can't find the ruby.h header file it needs to compile RMagick. On my system I have this file:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h

Is it present on your system? (I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.) Did you specify any options on the ./configure command?

Nope, I don't have that file:

aibook:~ hunter$ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h
-bash: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h: No such file or directory

I DO have it here:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/ruby.h

Any ideas how I can get this header found?

Thanks,
Hunter
