RMagic gem require error. RMagick2.so cannot be opened

When I try the following in my controller,

require 'RMagick'

and running

RAILS_ENV=production rake gems:install

I am getting the following error.

rake aborted!
libMagickCore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.10.0/lib/RMagick2.so

When I checked, the file RMagick2.so is present in the directory.

ImageMagick is also installed.

identify --version

gives

Version: ImageMagick 6.4.8-10 2015-05-23 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Any solution to this issue?

Before, when I installed Imagemagick 6.5 version, it was saying RMagick is configured with ImageMagick 6.4.8. Can we change the configured version of ImageMagick in RMagick gem?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ImageMagick and RMagick so completely at a loss.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Solution

The issue you are facing is with the path -

convert is located at

/usr/local/bin/convert

It should be located at

/usr/bin/convert

Remove the one under bin and reinstall it , and the issue will be solved .
