Installing rmagick on Ubuntu 9.04 – Jaunty Jackalope
Most help that turn up on google with installing rmagick on linux/ubuntu suggest installing following packages:
$ sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems irb ri rdoc ruby1.8-dev build-essential imagemagick libmagick9 libmagick9-dev $
On my Ubuntu 9.04, it couldn’t find libmagick9-dev. I got following error:
$ sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev [sudo] password for sjain: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libmagick9-dev is a virtual package provided by: libmagickwand-dev 7:6.4.5.4.dfsg1-1ubuntu3.1 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libmagick9-dev has no installation candidate $
Installing ‘libmagickwand-dev did the trick:
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
Then the following worked:
$ sudo gem install rmagick Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed rmagick-2.12.2 1 gem installed $
