RMagick woes

i'm having major problems with rmagic, when cropping. on my local machine it works fine. on dreamhost it kills my app. the specific error is: can't convert Magick::GravityType into Integer

a lot of googling reveals that it may be due to an older version of rmagick installed on dreamhost. i try to install the gem and it fails with: configure: error: Can't install RMagick. Can't find Magick-config or GraphicsMagick-config program. RMagick configuration failed with status 1.

any ideas how to get around this? triedto install rmagick from source also died with me, saying it couldn't find GraphicsMagick. but if i test GraphicsMagick from command line, it is found and works fine.

any ideas appreciated? anyone manage to get rmagick gem installed on dreamhost?

yea. been through this many times. no luck. always dies at: gem install -i ~/gems rmagick

with: No package 'ImageMagick' found no configure: error: Can't install RMagick. Can't find libMagick or one of the dependent libraries.                   Check the config.log file for more detailed information. RMagick configuration failed with status 1.
