Can't install Imagemagick on Mountain Lion

Question

Yesterday I updated to Mountain Lion and I wanted to start my rails app and had some problems with Rmagick gem. After reading on the net I did the following :

• Installed Xcode 4.4
• Installed developper tools
• Installed Xquartz
• Uninstalled imagemagick using brew
• Installed imagemagick with brew

During this installation I receive an error :

coders/svg.c:93:10: fatal error: 'librsvg/rsvg.h' file not found

For the moment I'm running out of possible steps I can take. Somebody knows what is wrong with this installation?

I have the exact same config and it worked for me. My output was much shorter though: brew install imagemagick ==> Downloading downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/mirror/… ########################################### 100,0% ==> Patching patching file configure Hunk #1 succeeded at 32371 (offset 447 lines). ==> ./configure --disable-osx-universal-binary --without-perl --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6 --enable-shared --disable-static --with-modules --with ==> make install /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6: 1396 files, 32M, built in 93 seconds – Zenobiazeolite

Answer 1

I wasted a lot of time for this one. In the end I did as stated on this site:

http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/27985816073/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-riding-a-mountain-lion

And (the thing that seemed to fix it for me) was running brew doctor and fixing every single issue until it did not complain any longer. Now I have imagemagick installed. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Yeah I also encounters the problem，I think make is the cause of the conflict.

Before install, I use brew doctor to check env, it shows me following error :

Your compilers are different from the standard versions for your Xcode.
If you have Xcode 4.3 or newer, you should install the Command Line Tools for
Xcode from within Xcode's Download preferences.
Otherwise, you should reinstall Xcode.

If you install Xcode-4.4 beforehand, then install osx-GCC-4.2, this mistake will appear .

I try to reinstall Xcode-4.4, but it doesn't work. So I just direct compiler installation from the source code.

• curl -O ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
• tar -zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
• cd ImageMagick-6.7.8-8
• ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
• make && make install

And then ImageMagick works. But this may lead file storage location has a problem, it will produce some warnings when you use brew doctor to check .

Recently I tried to reset xcode-path to solve version confict

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

I think this can be a way to solve make conflict.

Of all the solutions out there, this is the only one that worked. Thanx – Dropping

Answer 3

If anyone reading this is using macports instead of homebrew, you can install ImageMagick (After installing Xcode and the command line tools) with the following command:

sudo port install ImageMagick
