ImageMagick conflict on Ubuntu running 'rails server'

[Ciaran Archer]

Hi all

I'm looking to use RefineryCMS on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Installing
ImageMagick and RMagick has broken my spirit, and I'm posting here for
help :)

I've got to the stage where I removed the bundled version of
ImageMagick on via the Ubuntu Software Manager. I then built and
installed ImageMagick 6.6.4 from source - this worked. I then
installed the packages 'imagemagick' and 'libmagickwand-dev' and then
I was able to install RMagick.

I can then run 'refinerycms ./myproject' but when I change into the
directory and try and run 'rails server' I get the following error:

carcher@carcher-laptop:~/Code/tgc$ rails server

I seem to have an older version of ImageMagick in use. Is this the
issue? If so how can I purge the older version? Is that really the
issue?

I'm new to RoR and Ubuntu so go easy on me - but any and all help is
greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Ciaran

Thanks but I know that. I'm asking for help on how to to ensure the
I'm only using the newer version.

It seems that installing ImageMagick and RMagic is a real source of
problems for those trying to use refinerycms. Granted, I'm not expert
on Linux but I have been at this for hours.

Today I tried a clean install, installed ImageMagick from source,
confirmed it is working OK (/usr/local/bin/convert --version gives me
v 6.6.4-2), but when I attempt to install the RMagic gem I get the
following error:


ciaran@ciaran-laptop:~$ sudo gem install rmagick
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
from extconf.rb:1
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
rmagick-2.13.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.13.1/ext/
RMagick/gem_make.out

Have I managed to install ImageMagick someplace that the gem cannot
see it? Perhaps, if this is the case, someone might tell me where I
should install it and I can try again. Or perhaps there is some way to
make the gem see it.

Thanks in advance.

did you do sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev and sudo apt-get install build-essential and, finally, apt-get install librmagick-ruby ?

[Vladimir Krylov]

google helps;)

[Ciaran Archer]

It seems that sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev allowed me to install
the rmagick gem finally. Thank for pointing that out.

No need for the Google comment TBH, I'm not lazy, I have been trying
to get refinerycms working for a few days now. As I said I do not use
Linux or Ruby/Rails for my day job. Sometimes it takes someone with
experience to make sense of problem and offer guidance, so thanks for
that at least.

Got further but now seeing this when rake is run:
So from clean install I did everything again and back to where I
started:

ciaran@ciaran-laptop:~/code/tgc$ rails server

=> Call with -d to detach

Anyone point me in the right direction here?

Hey Ciaran,

Thanks for letting us know that the librmagick stuff worked - can you tell us if the instructions here are accurate (under "Linux")?

http://tutorials.refinerycms.org/tutorials/how-to-install-refinery-prerequisites

Looks like you may have to uninstall ImageMagick 6.5.7-8.. does the bottom post here help you:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-229355.html

Sorry that you're encountering these issues, hopefully we can compile an authoritative list to help people install this stuff perfectly first time as otherwise it's just a pain. :)

I also found this but not sure if it helps:

http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15262

[Ciaran Archer]

Hi Phil - thanks for you feedback

The problem is I have uninstalled (alt-get purge) imagemagick 6.5.7-8,
but for some reason I think it is still in a config file someplace
(maybe) so hence the message.

Over the next few days I'll try:

1. Reinstall and purge the imagemagick 6.5.7 again, then remove the
rmagick gem - this was a suggested solution here:

http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com/questions/4181/how-to-resolve-ruby-on-rails-imagemagick-conflict

2. Start from scratch again (clean install) and this time try to build
rmagick against imagemagick 6.5.7-8, i.e. the native packed version
rather than building the later version from source.

If I get it to work I'll post my findings with steps for others, but
it may be a few days - got a day-job and a pregnant wife to take care
of :)

Cheers,
Ciaran

Hi all

I'm up and running! I did a clean Ubuntu install, and just used the
pre-installed Imagemagick package. The tutorial you have for Lunix
omits a few things a novice like me needs to do, so I documented all
my steps here:

http://flydillonfly.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/setting-up-refinerycms-on-ubuntu-10-04-lts/

The main problem was that early in the process when I ran into an
issue with RMagick, I presumed I needed a later version of Imagemagick
so I downloaded and installed it from source. There is no need to do
that - none at all. The version 6.5.7-8 will do just fine.

Hope this helps others.

If you need to use the latest version then I found this post that
might help. I haven't tried it though:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557778

Cheers,
Ciaran

Thanks Ciaran! Hopefully someone will update the tutorial based on your advice.
