Installing RMagick on OS X Leopard

Rmagick Clown

I work with Ruby on Leopard and and I need RMagick.

If you are a programmer and don’t know what RMagick is, you should know how code can melt your picture into art in Ruby:).

Thanks to Onrails.org for the starting script, I have removed some cruft and added some spice.

RMagicK install tastes good with freshly brewed UpTown coffee.

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p ~/Scripts
cd ~/Scripts
if [ -d ImageMagickInstall ]
then
# remove old ImageMagickInstall directory if it exists 
   rm -rf ImageMagickInstall
fi

  1. Pjam says:

    Just to say that ImageMagick is on version 9,5 now. your script borks there and in the install of the gem. thanks though.

  2. Pjam says:

    and by 9,5 i meant ImageMagick-universal-apple-darwin9.5.0.tar.gz

    and for some reason, the command that worked for me was sudo gem install rmagick

    note the spelling. maybe they changed it since you wrote the script. i don’t know.
