Rmagick installation on Ubuntu

Rmagick installation on Ubuntu

I have seen many times that people are facing a lot of problem in installing RMagick and Image Magick on ubuntu.......The same problem was faced by me and i got it solve by following the steps given below


Download RMagick and Imagemagick..

put RMagick in the vendors folder where u want it to run from and Image Magick on Desktop

Go to the Path where Image Magick is stored and follow the steps

1) ./configure

2) make

3) make install


if you get an error while doing this task

type the following command in terminal

apt-get install build-essential (make sure that ruby dev is installed)


once you have done this follow the above 3 steps and things should start working

So thats all about ImageMagick

now come RMagick installation

move the the RMagick installation path and follow the steps

1) ./configure

Thats it..now things should work..

I dont think u will get any error. If you get any post ur errors as comment and get it solved..
