stdint.h is part of the C library. This should be installed along with a C compiler. Please tell me you're not trying to compile a C extension without a C compiler?

stdint.h is part of the C library. This should be installed along with

Have you tried either the osx installer from rubyforge (automated build from source: http://is.gd/l6pP ), or have you built the whole shebang from scratch yourself using http://is.gd/glSd

I followed the second procedure myself with few problems.

My conclusion would be, then, that the gem does not like ruby 1.9 just yet. I am no help there, sorry.

This can't be all of it. It doesn't include the failure you described in your post:

checking for stdint.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***

Why don't you start over and post the output from "gem install" and then mkmf.log? Also, where did you get the XCode Tools (install disk? download?), how did you install ImageMagick, and what's the output from

gcc --version

I think your XCode Tools installation is corrupt and you need to reinstall.

Here's why. The failure occurs the first time extconf.rb tries to execute gcc. Here's the same part of mkmf.log when I run it on OS X 10.5.6:

checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.2... -------------------- yes

checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include <stdint.h>
/* end */

--------------------

The first few tests don't use gcc. The Ruby version test checks the value of RUBY_VERSION. The test for gcc searches your $PATH for the gcc executable. Similarly the test for Magick-config searches your $PATH for the Magick-config script. The test for the ImageMagick version executes Magick-config and checks the output. The test for the "HDRI disabled version of ImageMagick" also executes Magick-config.

It's not until the test for stdint.h that extconf.rb (via mkmf.rb) needs to actually execute gcc. To perform this test, mkmf.rb a minimal C program and then tries to compile it with gcc. If gcc successfully compiles the program then mkmf.rb concludes that stdint.h is present, otherwise it concludes that stdint.h is missing. (A missing stdint.h is not a terminal error, btw.)

Now, if stdint.h was missing, this what you'd see in mkmf.log.

have_header: checking for stdint.h... -------------------- no

"gcc -E -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin9.4.0 -I. -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick -Wall -g -I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick conftest.c -o conftest.i"
conftest.c:1:21: error: stdint.h: No such file or directory
checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include <stdint.h>
/* end */

However, your mkmf.log file simply stops without even logging the "checking for stdint.h..." that you see on the terminal. Also, there's no Ruby traceback on the terminal, just an abrupt statement that "*** extconf.rb failed ***".

My conclusion is that gcc abended, forcing extconf.rb to stop running immediately. Therefore the fix I recommend is to reinstall the XCode Tools, either from your OS X install DVD or by downloading a new copy from the Apple Developer Connection web site (http://developer.apple.com). You may want to uninstall the current copy of XCode Tools first, just to be sure. Here's instructions for doing that: http://www.meandmark.com/xcodetips.html\.

Good luck!

RMagick: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/

I downloaded the newest version of XCode Tools from ADC.
I cannot uninstall previous version because the file referenced in the
link you provided does not exist.
Anyway, reinstalled Xcode tools 3.1.2.

Reran sudo gem instakk RMagick.

Same result.

I think your XCode Tools installation is corrupt and you need to reinstall.

Here's why. The failure occurs the first time extconf.rb tries to
execute gcc. Here's the same part of mkmf.log when I run it on OS X 10.5.6:

checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.2... -------------------- yes

--------------------

find_executable: checking for gcc... -------------------- yes

--------------------

find_executable: checking for Magick-config... -------------------- yes

--------------------

checking for ImageMagick version >= 6.3.0... -------------------- yes

--------------------

checking for HDRI disabled version of ImageMagick...-------------------- yes

--------------------

have_header: checking for stdint.h... -------------------- yes

"gcc -E -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin9.4.0
-I/Users/timothyhunter/RMagick/ext/RMagick-I/opt/local/include
-I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick -Wall -g
-I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick conftest.c -o conftest.i"
checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include <stdint.h>
/* end */

--------------------

The first few tests don't use gcc. The Ruby version test checks the
value of RUBY_VERSION. The test for gcc searches your $PATH for the gcc
executable. Similarly the test for Magick-config searches your $PATH for
the Magick-config script. The test for the ImageMagick version executes
Magick-config and checks the output. The test for the "HDRI disabled
version of ImageMagick" also executes Magick-config.

It's not until the test for stdint.h that extconf.rb (via mkmf.rb) needs
to actually execute gcc. To perform this test, mkmf.rb a minimal C
program and then tries to compile it with gcc. If gcc successfully
compiles the program then mkmf.rb concludes that stdint.h is present,
otherwise it concludes that stdint.h is missing. (A missing stdint.h is
not a terminal error, btw.)

Now, if stdint.h was missing, this what you'd see in mkmf.log.

have_header: checking for stdint.h... -------------------- no

"gcc -E -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin9.4.0 -I.
-I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick -Wall -g
-I/opt/local/include/ImageMagick conftest.c -o conftest.i"
conftest.c:1:21: error: stdint.h: No such file or directory
checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include <stdint.h>
/* end */

However, your mkmf.log file simply stops without even logging the
"checking for stdint.h..." that you see on the terminal. Also, there's
no Ruby traceback on the terminal, just an abrupt statement that "***
extconf.rb failed ***".

My conclusion is that gcc abended, forcing extconf.rb to stop running
immediately. Therefore the fix I recommend is to reinstall the XCode
Tools, either from your OS X install DVD or by downloading a new copy
from the Apple Developer Connection web site
(http://developer.apple.com). You may want to uninstall the current copy
of XCode Tools first, just to be sure. Here's instructions for doing
that:http://www.meandmark.com/xcodetips.html\.

Good luck!

I cannot uninstall previous version because the file referenced in the
link you provided does not exist.
Anyway, reinstalled Xcode tools 3.1.2.

Reran sudo gem instakk RMagick.

Same result.

Well, that was my best shot. Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions. Perhaps somebody else will be able to help. Good luck!
