How to install rmagick extension to ruby on Ubuntu ?
That's a very good question as the rubygems embedded in the debian package is a limited edition where you are not able to make an "update --system".
So first thing to do:
sudo apt-get remove rubygems
Then, from www.rubyonrails.com, follow the rubygems installation tutorial:
- download the archive delivered from rubyforge,
- tar -zxvf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
and:
cd /rubygems-1.3.1
sudo ruby setup.rb
and follow with a :
sudo gem update --system
OK, rubygems is now up to date.
Go on installation of rmagick:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
sudo apt-get install g++ automake autoconf
sudo apt-get install libmagick++10
sudo apt-get install libmagick++9-dev
sudo gem install rmagick
and then you will get the following console output:
frederic@nostromo2:~/Logiciels/development/ruby/rubygems-1.3.1$ sudo gem install rmagick
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed rmagick-2.9.0
1 gem installed
And now, you will be able to use the Rails plugin named file_column; cd into your rails project:
cd myprojectsrails
script/plugin install http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_file_column/plugins/file_column/trunk
And enjoy !
