Installing RMagick gem — Can't find MagickWand.h

Question

I am installing the rmagick gem on OSX 10.6.8, using gem install rmagick, and I am getting the following error

    Can\'t install RMagick 2.13.1         


        

Answer 1

I wasted a lot of time on this, ImageMagick versions above 6.7 don't play nicely with the installation of the rmagick gem. It looks like someone made a package to address this issue, try:

brew install imagemagick-ruby186

After uninstalling your previous imagemagick. Afterwards gem install rmagick worked fine for me.
