OnRails.org: RMagick (from source) on Snow Leopard

RMagick (from source) on Snow Leopard

Solomon White — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:31:00 +0000

After the release of 10.5, I published an article about building RMagick from source on Leopard. I won’t rehash the why, you can read the original article for that. My clean install necessitated updating the RMagick script, so here’s what worked for me to install from source on Snow Leopard! For the impatient, here’s the download link: rmagick-build.sh

First, we start with installing wget, as it seems to be a bit more clever than curl about dealing with mirrors, etc. Then, we compile and install each prerequisite package. Finally, we install the gem.

All the links in the script worked for me, but, depending on your location, network, conditions, etc, your mileage may vary. Enjoy!

sudo gem install rmagick

UPDATE There is a bug with libgomp that breaks the convert utility (See comments below). the --disable-openmp configure option has been added to the script to fix this.

UPDATE 2 A new patchlevel of ImageMagick has been released that supersedes the original one referenced in this script, and the original has been removed from the server. Thanks to Sebastian for this update that will grab the latest release.

My jpeg issue is fixed now. There was an older version of the jpeg lib from Mac Ports which needed to be removed before running the Image Magick install script.

Oh, and some (spinner) feedback when submitting a comment on this blog would be useful! Like others here I accidentally submitted my post twice, as there was no indication that anything happened after I pressed the submit button…

Hi,

I installed ImageMagick with this script here because it seemed the most up to date one: http://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl

I get the following error in some ImageMagick commands:

Magick::ImageMagickError: Wrong JPEG library version: library is 70, caller expects 62 `’ @ jpeg.c/EmitMessage/232

Can anybody advice? What do I need to do?

hi there I had to install ImageMagick a few different times as i had problems doing so and refered to different sources/tutes on the web for installing imagemagick on snow leopard.

Now, I seem to get an error message (below) indicating that there's more than one instance of image magick installed and magicwand cant be installed.

help !! :(

Mirco, I was getting the same error. I manually downloaded and installed the Image Magic Library. Basically ran the commands from #Image Magic down manually on my server. That seemed to fix it.
