Bundle can't install RMagick gem on Mac OSX 10

Question

I've installed ImageMagick with ImageMagick installer script https://github.com/maddox/magick-installer. I am on OSX Lion 10.7, using RVM, Ruby 1.9.3p125.

The problem seems to be with MagickWand.h here is the complete log

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

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

Answer 1

If you're getting Package xxx was not found.

Find the package and add it's dir path to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable in your ~/.bash_login or ~/.bash_profile file.

Example:

If you get the error:

Package MagickCore was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Find where the file is:

$ mdfind magickcore.pc
/usr/local/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/lib/pkgconfig/MagickCore.pc

Add to your bash_login or bash_profile:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

remember to source the bash_login/profile file

Answer 2

I had to add both the env variables to make it work. Something like this

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick 

Answer 3

Andrey Yasinishyn's solution worked for me:

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

Answer 4

When I came up against this issue, it was complaining it couldn't find MagickCore.pc, so I did this;

$ mdfind MagickCore.h
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/include/ImageMagick/magick/MagickCore.h
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick/magick/MagickCore.h

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/lib/pkgconfig/
$ gem install rmagick

and it worked!

Answer 5

fix this setting the include path of your current imagemagick installation:

Install ImageMagick with brew

brew install imagemagick

find library

$ mdfind MagickWand.h
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.5-7/include/ImageMagick/wand/MagickWand.h

Install rmagick gem

$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/path gem install rmagick

example:

$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.5-7/include/ImageMagick/ gem install rmagick

For El Capitan Users,

Both PKG_CONFIG_FILE and C_INCLUDE_PATH needs to be included. The command that worked for me is:

sudo C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.2-4/include/ImageMagick/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.2-4/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick
