Hi dudes
I’m coding my web application and I need to use the simple_captcha gem, which uses rmagick to generate captchas. I’m trying to install it, I already have imagemagick installed in my debian sid, and I found the following problem
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb
checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes
checking for cc... yes
checking for Magick-config... no
Can't install RMagick 2.12.2. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
Googling a little I found this page which explains what to do, which is ‘apt-get install libmagickcore-dev‘ as root or using sudo.
After this, a new error appears
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:

Can't install RMagick 2.12.2. Can't find MagickWand.h.
And a new action is taken ‘apt-get install libmagickwand-dev‘.
Problems solved and gem installed.
