Have you tried either the osx installer from rubyforge (automated build from source: [http://is.gd/l6pP](http://is.gd/l6pP) ), or have you built the whole shebang from scratch yourself using [http://is.gd/glSd](http://is.gd/glSd) I followed the second procedure myself with few problems.

Yes.

My conclusion would be, then, that the gem does not like ruby 1.9 just yet. I am no help there, sorry. Cheers-- Charles > **···** > > On Feb 27, 2009, at 2:24 PM, Rong wrote: > > > Yes.

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 > **···** > > > On Feb 27, 3:11 pm, Tim Hunter \ wrote: > > > > > > On Feb 27, 2009, at 2:24 PM, Rong wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Feb 27, 1:08 pm, Charles Johnson \>\>\>\> \ wrote: > > -- > RMagick: [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/) ---

Here's why. The failure occurs the first time extconf.rb tries to execute 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.

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](http://developer.apple.com)). You may want to uninstall the current copy of XCode Tools first, just to be sure.

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.
