I installed ImageMagick 6.5.6 and all seems to be installed ok.

I downloaded ImageMagick 6.5.6

I entered $ ./configure

and everything seems OK. When I enter $ identify -version

I get Version: ImageMagick 6.5.6-6 2009-09-30 Q8 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

I then enter $ sudo gem install rmagick I get Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed rmagick-2.11.1 1 gem installed

To check the install I enter $ sudo irb -rubygems -r RMagick

and I get

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.11.1/lib/ RMagick2.so:RuntimeError: This installation of RMagick was configured with ImageMagick 6.5.6 but ImageMagick 6.4.5 is in use.

what am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? Thank you for your help.

When i did this i did it from apt and not source and it worked cleanly, all i had to do was install the libmagick packages.

If you are able to, then just go with the packages. If you are stuck with source then sorry my reply isnt any help.

Thanks Kyle,

I uninstalled the source version using make uninstall and reinstalled using the packages. I was finally successful. I appreciate your quick response
