Issue with installing ImageMagick and rmagick on Mountain Lion

Question

I am facing issues with installing rmagick in mountain lion. I have installed Xcode 4.4 and developer tools. Still facing this issue.

    Installing rmagick (2.13.1) with native extensions Unfortunately, a fatal error has occurred. Please report this error to the Bundler issue tracker at https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues so that we can fix it. Thanks!

Answer 1

I just updated to Mountain Lion this morning and had rmagick troubles. I had installed ImageMagick through homebrew at some point in the past, so this worked for me after installing the new commandline tools through xcode's preferences window.

brew update
brew uninstall ImageMagick
brew install ImageMagick
gem uninstall rmagick
gem install rmagick

I didn't have to get funky with gcc like some above posts mentioned.

Answer 2

I finally solved this using:

$ cd /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/lib
$ ln -s libMagick++-Q16.7.dylib   libMagick++.dylib
$ ln -s libMagickCore-Q16.7.dylib libMagickCore.dylib
$ ln -s libMagickWand-Q16.7.dylib libMagickWand.dylib
