Rails OSX Tiger RMagick Bus Error Abort trap

Hi;

I am using a PowerBook G4 with: OSX Tiger version 10.4.7; Rubygems 0.9; Rails 1.1.6; RMagic 1.13.0

I have Ruby and friends installed at /usr/local/... just as described in:

then installed RMagick as descibed in:

Then installed file_column and the full Rails environment worked fine for about four weeks. I could do script/console under iterm and get into the development environment.

Then, I had to update Quicksilver, Rubygems and Rails; after that, I can't access script/console.

If I do script/console under my Rails app dir in iterm, I get this:

PBG4:~/Rails/app vr_mex$ script/console Loading development environment. /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.13.0/lib/RMagick.bundle: [BUG] Bus Error ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0]

Abort trap

So then I deleted all RMagick using: uninstall-RMagick.rb and went to install RMagick again via the same method:

I got nowhere same error when I do script/console under my Rails app dir; so then I thought it had to do with file_column, so I went and tried it with acts_as_attachment via doing th sample Rails app in: http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment

For acts_as_attachment example to work, I had to install acts_as_attachment-1.1.6 that I got from here: http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/tags/acts_as_attachment

Well I got acts_as_attachment to work fine, but when I went into iterm and tried script/console, I got the same error as before; so clearly it is not a problem with acts_as_attachment or file_column

Then from iterm I did this: PBG4:~/Rails/app vr_mex$ ruby -rrubygems -e "require 'RMagick'; puts Magick::Long_version;" This is RMagick 1.13.0 ($Date: 2006/06/26 23:32:37 $) Copyright (C) 2006 by Timothy P. Hunter Built with ImageMagick 6.2.8 09/22/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Built for ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0] Web page: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org Email: rmagick@rubyforge.org

If i do this : PBG4:~/Rails/app vr_mex$ which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby

So I reinstalled Ruby and friends again at /usr/local/... just as described in:

then reinstalled RMagick again as descibed in:

And still getting the same error, can't get script/console to work.

I need to have script/console access when using RMagic under Rails.

Please Help

try building rmagick from source. Any problems installing rmagic will be shown this way. By installing by source, I solved an rmagick problem I was stumbling on for over a week.

The only way I got it to work was to remove all the Hivelogic steps completely, download DarwinPorts and then install graphicsMagick instead of ImageMagick. Worked like a charm.

I've been using rmagick with rails on OS X. I followed these directions to install: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html Worked like a charm!

Thanks Pete and Sarah;

My main concern is if I go the DarwinPorts road, I have all installed in /usr/local and DarwinPorts installs all in /opt/... so my question would be : is anyone of you using a mixed environment say having Ruby and others in /usr/local and just the Imagemagick stuff in /opt/...?

I know some people are using all under /usr/local that is the way I would prefer to go...

I have all (RMagic, Ruby, gem, rails, etc.) under /opt with Darwinports. It seemed less complicated that way. sudo port install “whatever” and it works.

Thanks Vishnu,

Wish I could do that but I do have some other apps that have to be in /usr/local/... and that do not have DarwinPorts support...

Guys, any other suggestions as to how to install in /usr/local/... ? Anyone else has had this problem and solved it lately under /usr/local/... ?

Finally I fixed this problem. now all works under /usr/local/...
