rmagick and imagemagick bundle/homebrew error

Question

Please see error stack below. I tried uninstall/install of imagemagick via homebrew, 'gem pristine rmagick', and reinstall of rmagick. All have returned the same error. Any help would be VERY much appreciated- been at this for a while now.

$ gem install rmagick
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Had the same problem, easy fix!

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/16625

here is the skinny on the solution (rmagick is broken, and you have to create symlinks to get it to work):

cd /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/lib

ln -s libMagick++-Q8.7.dylib   libMagick++.dylib

ln -s libMagickCore-Q8.7.dylib libMagickCore.dylib

ln -s libMagickWand-Q8.7.dylib libMagickWand.dylib
