rmagick preventing rails server from working


I have to use rmagick, and it is not allowing me to start the rails server. I have read around on here and Google, none of the solutions have help so far. There is something going wrong with the Library and I'm not sure how to fix it.

If anyone has advice with fixing this exact problem that would be much appreciated.

Solution

  • I was able to fix this error, so this should work for anyone else if they're having the same exact problem.

    Here are the steps to fixing:

    brew uninstall imagemagick
    gem uninstall rmagick
    sudo gem install json # (not sure this step is needed)
    sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev
    bundle install
    

    And then it work perfect. Now I can launch rails server and I receive no more errors. Hope this helps someone!
