RMagick on Mac OS X - weird error

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hey,

I'm trying to install RMagick on Leopard, and I've already installed ImageMagick. Here's the version I have: $ convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.3.9 03/17/08 Q8 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC

I downloaded RMagick-1.15.13.tar.gz from this page: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=18732

There are some simple instructions once you extract RMagick. $ ./configure <configuration options> $ make ($ su) $ make install (optionally) $ make clean

I ran "./configure" and everything seemed to run fine.

Then I ran "make" and after a bit, got these weird errors: rmimage.c: In function ‘Image_delay’: rmimage.c:3569: error: ‘C_unsigned’ undeclared (first use in this function) rmimage.c:3569: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rmimage.c:3569: error: for each function it appears in.) rmimage.c:3569: error: syntax error before ‘long_to_R_unsigned’

I've searched for solutions to this, but haven't found anything. Can anyone help? rmagick has been driving me bonkers.

Why not download 2.2.2?

I'm on leopard...

$ convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.3.9 03/12/08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC

$ gem search rmagick

*** LOCAL GEMS *** rmagick (2.2.2)

I just did "sudo gem install rmagick" though....

I tried to use rmagick-1.15.13 just because I had it working on another computer.

But anyhoo, if I try sudo gem install rmagick

I get this error: Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing rmagick: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

and then these errors at the end: rmimage.c:3181: error: 'C_unsigned' undeclared (first use in this function) rmimage.c:3181: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rmimage.c:3181: error: for each function it appears in.) rmimage.c:3181: error: syntax error before 'long_to_R_unsigned'

Does anyone know why I can't seem to install rmagick?

Do you have Xcode installed?

I am pretty sure Xcode is installed -- doing "locate xcode" yields a lot of results.

I can install all other gems, but not rmagick. I already have ImageMagick installed, too. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I tested ImageMagick by converting a .gif to a .jpg, and it worked great.

My only problem seems to be rmagick. Whenever I try "sudo gem install rmagick" I get Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing rmagick: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Do I need to specify some options when I install rmagick?

Welp, looks like I already have X11 on the computer:

$ X -version TransformProcessType: Success X11.app starting: X.org Release 7.2 X.Org Xquartz X Server 1.3.0-apple5 Build Date: 20080109

Also, I already have XCode: version 3.0

So those seem fine. Plus I have ImageMagick installed. What more do I need to do to be able to install RMagick??

installing RMagick is always a tricky one. Recommend checking out this installer script: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=16101

It definitely is a tricky one. I've already tried that, to no avail. My guess now is that I have more than one version of ImageMagick installed.

$ convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.3.9 03/17/08 Q8 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC

But when I do "locate ImageMagick" it just finds a bunch of ImageMagick-6.3.2 files, no ImageMagick-6.3.9 files at all. And when I go to look at those ImageMagick-6.3.2 files, they aren't there.

Does anyone have some good advice on how to completely remove ImageMagick? It's like a week that I can't kill...
