Rmagick installation/configuration with rails on Ubuntu or fedora
Rmagick installation on Ubuntu
I have seen many times that people are facing a lot of problem in installing RMagick and Image Magick on ubuntu…….The same problem was faced by me and i got it solve by following the steps given below
Download RMagick and Imagemagick..
put RMagick in the vendors folder where u want it to run from and Image Magick on Desktop
Go to the Path where Image Magick is stored and follow the steps
1) ./configure
2) make
3) make install
if you get an error while doing this task
type the following command in terminal
apt-get install build-essential (make sure that ruby dev is installed)
once you have done this follow the above 3 steps and things should start working
So thats all about ImageMagick
now come RMagick installation
move the the RMagick installation path and follow the steps
1) ./configure
Thats it..now things should work..
You may even try doing this
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev
sudo gem install rmagick
I dont think u will get any error. If you get any post ur errors as comment and get it solved..
