Installing RMagick on Ubuntu
September 25th, 2007
Taken from the rubyonrails wiki, for my reference:
If you need RMagick support for your web app, your going to need to install ImageMagick and RMagick.
sudo apt-get install imagemagick dpkg -l | grep magick
This will install the most current imagemagick and then
list the magick packages installed. Look for what version of
libmagick got installed and make sure you specify THAT version number when you install libmagick-dev.
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev sudo gem install rmagick
After a lengthy build process, youre ready to edit images in ruby!

I assume you meant…
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
dpkg -l | grep magick
# for me the last line was
ii libmagick10 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu3 image manipulation library
which meant “I should run sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev” for some reason.
dpkg -l | grep magick
