Can't install RMagick 0.0.0. Can't find Magick-config

Question

I'm running a debian server and upgraded all packages after quite a while (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get distro-upgrade). Then rmagick didn't work anymore becuase imagemagick was updated.

So I ran:

gem uninstall rmagick
bundle install

Then I got this:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes
checking for gcc... yes
checking for Magick-config... no
Can't install RMagick 0.0.0. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
    --with-opt-dir

    --with-make-prog

    --srcdir=.
    --curdir
    --ruby=/usr/local/bin/ruby

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /srv/www/www.example.com/shared/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/rmagick-2.13.3 for inspection.

Make sure that `gem install rmagick -v '2.13.3'` succeeds before bundling.

This is cat mkmf.log:

Can anyone help me with this?

For whoever runs into this problem in the future: It took me long but it's fixed. This is what I did:

• sudo apt-get purge imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
• sudo rm -R /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/magick
• sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/Magick-config /usr/bin/Magick-config
• sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
