Can't install rmagick gem on Mountain Lion

Note: my situation is almost identical to this: Can't install pg gem on Mountain Lion.

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and Rails is giving me all kinds of problems, especially trying to install the 'rmagick' gem. I'm running Ruby 1.9.3-p362 and Rails 3.2.11.

I have tried:

  • Installing Xcode with command line tools
  • Reinstalling homebrew
  • Clearing out all my repo's gems (including Gemfile.lock) and running bundle install
  • Reinstalling the bundler gem
  • Reinstalling ImageMagick

Nothing, including answers elsewhere on SO, have been of any use. Can you point me in the right direction?

I am going through the same issue here... But one difference, maybe your homebrew its linked to another version of Imagemagick. So even though imagemagick-6.8.0-10 is installed is not being found. Try something like brew unlink imagemagick then brew link imagemagick and see what happens. Have your tried brew doctor ? - iGallina

I had the same problem as you setting up my dev environment on Mountain Lion for RoR 3.2.11. Apparently the last version of RMagick (2.13.1 ) doesn't play nice compiling with the last version of ImageMagick (6.8.2-0). Disabling openmp and building from source worked like, ahem.. Magick.

brew uninstall imagemagick
brew install imagemagick --disable-openmp --build-from-source
gem install rmagick

I didn't need to edit the brew formula described in http://blog.paulopoiati.com/2013/01/28/installing-rmagick-in-mac-os-x-mountain-lion-with-homebrew/, but that would be the next step to try.

It may be a permissions issue try running

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local

and then try again.

I had the same issue while trying to use Paperclip with Rails 3 for the first time. Just to sum up previous answers, what worked for me was the following:

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local
brew link --overwrite imagemagick

Thanks!
