getting error for rmagick and magick-config

Question

I am using rvm 1.9.3 and rails 3. But while running bundle install for my app, I'm getting this error.

current directory: /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@app/gems/rmagick-2.13.2/ext/RMagick /home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p551/bin/ruby -r ./siteconf20180628-13119-1ds4iy4.rb extconf.rb checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes checking for gcc... yes checking for Magick-config... no Can't install RMagick 2.13.2. Can't find Magick-config in /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@app/bin:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@global/bin:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p551/bin

* 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
    --without-opt-dir
    --with-opt-include
    --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
    --with-opt-lib
    --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
    --with-make-prog
    --without-make-prog
    --srcdir=.
    --curdir
    --ruby=/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p551/bin/ruby

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

/home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@app/extensions/x86_64-linux/1.9.1/rmagick-2.13.2/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@app/gems/rmagick-2.13.2 for inspection. Results logged to /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@app/extensions/x86_64-linux/1.9.1/rmagick-2.13.2/gem_make.out

Note: I already used the commands sudo apt-get install build-essential imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

So what does it say in the mkmf.log and gem_make.out files that it tells you to look in? — Sean Burton

I was facing the same issue some time ago, I install the ImageMagick and other stuff still I was getting an error installing rmagick

the only thing works for me is running this with sudo, might work for you too

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/Magick-config /usr/bin/Magick-config
