I just tried the RMagick installation guide over on Hivelogic;
http://hivelogic.com/articles/rmagick_os_x/#comments

At first, I was a little concerned about following a tutorial from June 2006 which included release versions in the installation paths, but everyone still seems to reference this tutorial as the way to get RMagick set-up if you don’t have MacPorts (I intend to start fresh with MacPorts when I make a move over to Leopard).

I followed the tutorial just fine until the last step, ‘sudo gem install RMagick’, at which point ruby said ‘ERROR: could not find RMagick locally or in a repository’. I changed the gem name to lowercase ‘rmagick’, and that seemed to work.

I already had a version of Imagemagick installed after doing RailsSpace (but obviously no RMagick), so I don’t know if re-installing it will have affected anything, or if RMagick even works yet – so I’ll report back with my findings and maybe it’ll help out other non-MacPort/Locomotive Mac OS X Rails users….

I’ve tested out RMagick with a few attachment_fu tutorials, and it seems to have worked. Luckily I can go through the whole process again when I get round to Leopard. Happy Days!
