Installing rmagick gem fails on Mac OS X Lion


On MAC OS X LION while install rmagic gem, I am getting desperately this error:

    Installing rmagick (2.13.1) with native extensions 
    Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    An error occured while installing rmagick (2.13.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
    Make sure that `gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Used this installer to install ImageMagick before hand

http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/ picked ImageMagick 6.7.3-2 for Mac OS X Lion

I spend a couple of hours on this, hope someone can give me a lead on how to resolve this.

ADDITIONAL ERROR MESSAGE:

 Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h.

Solution

  • Here what fixed it!

    C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick gem install rmagick
