RMagick on Ubuntu

September 11, 2007

I had a hell of a time getting RMagick installed on my powerbook, but it was much less of a hassle on ubuntu. Here’s all I had to do:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagick9-dev
sudo gem install rmagick

It worked on the first try! This was a nice surprise as it took me days of searching the web to get everything working on OSX. Let me know if you run across any problems with this.
