Stop dicking around with MacPorts (which never works for me) or building Rmagick from scratch by pasting commands from a million unreliable blog recipes.
Just use Rmagick OS X installer script. I’ve tested it with Leopard and it works splendidly. Bravo to Tim Hunter for making all our lives that much easier.
November 3rd, 2007 at 09:55 PM Don't forget to install the Xcode Developer Tools from the OSX install DVD, or you might get this error when running the above script: Starting the RMagick installer /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:211: command not found: Magick-config --version The above message is expected. The Ruby header files are supposed to be installed at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin9.0 but aren't there. Read the README.rtf file for advice about how to correct this problem. Terminating due to error.
November 28th, 2007 at 06:24 AM I used macports for OSX 10.4. always worked for me ImageMagick and any other package. you just have to install the dependencies. such as freetype, ghostscript, etc... don't remeber For 10.5 macports ImageMagick didn't compile, I installed GraphicsMagick 1.1.7_0 instead. sudo port install GraphicsMagick then, gem install mini_magic rmagick :) cheers
