Installing RMagick gem -- Can't find MagickWand.h

For Debian-based (e.g., Ubuntu) systems you can try,

sudo apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
gem install rmagick

it works for me.

found solution from ruby-forum

1) install by installer

http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/

2) try gem install rmagick

if checking for wand/MagickWand.h... no
type

mdfind MagickWand.h

find some thing like

/Users/user/ImageMagick-6.8.3/include/ImageMagick-6/wand/MagickWand.h

and type in terminal

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/Users/user/ImageMagick-6.8.3/include/ImageMagick-6/ gem install rmagick

if, after that you have this error (because a had it) "Package MagickCore was not found in the pkg-config search path."

type

mdfind MagickCore.pc

find some thing like /opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/MagickCore.pc

and finally in terminal type:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick

Turns out the answer was in Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h. after all. I had just followed the suggestion incorrectly.

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

This installed rmagick gem successfully.

Unfortunately, rmagic is still not working with CarrierWave :-(, but that is a different problem altogether.
