An error occurred while installing rmagick (2.16.0) [I tried all option provided in Duplicate but same issue persisit]

Question

I 'm on Ubuntu 16.04 , in gemfile I have gem "rmagick" and when I bundle it says

An error occurred while installing rmagick (2.16.0), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install rmagick -v '2.16.0'` succeeds before bundling.

as suggested above when I try gem install rmagick -v '2.16.0' it says

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

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

need configuration options.

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

Gem files will remain installed in /home/faisal/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/rmagick-2.16.0 for inspection.

I have tried dozen of different ways provided in different questions but none of the work.

In MacOS, you can do this:

brew unlink imagemagick
brew install imagemagick@6 && brew link imagemagick@6 --force
