Ruby can't see RMagick installed from gem on FC4

I'm planning on using RMagick to do thumbnails for a Rails project.

Installed RMagick using 'gem install rmagick'

Here are last few lines...

Successfully installed rmagick-1.13.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'post-setup.rb' error codes worry me...

Tried using it anyway as installation reported as 'successful' anyway.

Rails complained about not finding the methods.

tried testing the "require 'RMagick'" in irb.

------
LoadError: no such file to load -- RMagick
        from (irb):1:in `require'
        from (irb):1
------

tried the sample script from the 'Users Guide'
------
require 'RMagick'
include Magick

cat = ImageList.new("Cheetah.jpg")
cat.display
exit
-------

Results:
-------
Rmagicktest.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- RMagick
(LoadError)
        from Rmagicktest.rb:1
-------

Checked locations of Rmagick.so and libMagick.so

-------
locate RMagick.so

locate libMagick.so

No 'usr/local/lib/ to worry about...

Any ideas on where to look/ how to fix?

If you are using a library installed with gems, you will need to

require 'rubygems'

first. Give that a try.

Try to run following line
ruby -rrubygems -e "require 'RMagick'; puts Magick::Long_version;"
what do you see??

Also you could read this article - you could find some interesting

Um... This is FC4 no sudo to worry about (there is a root account to
work from)

libs ARN'T in 'usr/local/lib' they are in 'usr/lib' (see top)

Running the irb or ruby tests above produce the same results under root.

Still stumped...

This dose make the test code from the 'Users guide' work.

Though you would think they would have included it....

you should never, never compile as root. fyi.

libs ARN'T in 'usr/local/lib' they are in 'usr/lib' (see top)

and do you have ld.so configured to look there?

Add explicit
require 'rebygems'
to your code then

require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'
include Magick
cat = ImageList.new("Cheetah.jpg")
cat.display

I usually use require_gem to get a gem into Rails:

require_gem 'rmagick'
include RMagick

Yes, but I must 'su' for the 'gem install rmagick' to work properly.

Well, as Rails is working properly, and was installed the same way, I
presume that ld.so is pointing to 'usr/lib'

Can't find relevent ld.so to check...

This error occured while loading the following files:

Previous rails error was:

that means you are compiling as root. if the installs uses non-standard
library paths (LD_RUN_PATH or -r switch to ld.so) they will then fail at
runtime as doing this as root is silently ignored.

Well, as Rails is working properly, and was installed the same way, I
presume that ld.so is pointing to 'usr/lib'

rails doesn't require a properly configured ld.so since it uses now shared
libs

Can't find relevent ld.so to check...

should I then remove the package and again attempt to install as user?

that way...)

it's Magick - not RMagick!

changing:
require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'rmagick'
include RMagick

to:
require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'rmagick'
include Magick

strangly produces this message:

undefined method `include' for #<MyBountyController:0xb796d1d4>

no prob.

it looks RMagick compiled ok - otherwise you wouldn't have an so...

what do these commands do for you

  harp:~ > ruby -r rubygems -e' require "RMagick"; p Magick '
  Magick

if that doesn't work try

  harp:~ > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib ruby -r rubygems -e' require "RMagick"; p Magick '
  Magick

??

therefore, you've got it installed. if you are having issues with rails you
have issues with permissions or you have two rubys installed and the web users
is using a different one

cut and past error. this is fine

if that doesn't work try

  harp:~ > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib ruby -r rubygems -e' require
"RMagick"; p Magick '
  Magick

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib ruby -r rubygems -e' require

that has to be on one line!

anyhow. you have installed RMagick and can use it fine from the command line.
what's your exact issue in rails then?

This may or may not have happened when I tried to upgrade the version of
rails.
Don't know how to check and or rectify...

Trying to use Rmagick to make thumbnails of images previously stored on
the drive.

You've seen the errors above. here is the code as it stands now:

    def make_thumb(location, image, thumb)
      require 'rubygems'
      require_gem 'rmagick'
      include Magick

      pic = Magick::Image.read("#{location}#{image}")
      imgwidth = pic.columns
      imgheight = pic.rows
      imgratio = imgwidth.to_f / imgheight.to_f
      imgratio > aspectratio ? scaleratio = 64 / imgwidth : scaleratio =
64 / imgheight
      thumb = pic.resize(scaleratio)

      white_bg = Magick::Image.new(64, thumb.height)
      pic = white_bg.composite(thumb, Magick::CenterGravity,
Magick::OverCompositeOp)
      pic.write("#{location}#{thumb}")
    end
