Re: RMagick on OSX

Howdy,

I have followed the instructions to get RMagick installed on OS X Tiger.

I got all the way to the last two steps and it failed. I am using the OS X
install instructions in the tarball.

I get this when I 'make' RMagick:

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ make
/usr/bin/ruby install.rb config
install.rb: entering config phase...

/Users/hunter/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3/ext/RMagick/extconf.rb ' failed
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage

Ruby was part of the system:

aibook:~/Desktop/RMagick-1.9.3 hunter$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby



Howdy, Hunter!

That message means extconf.rb can't find the ruby.h header file it needs to compile RMagick. On my system I have this file:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h

Is it present on your system? (I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.) Did you specify any options on the ./configure command?
