    <p>I get the error shown below when attempting to install the rmagick gem. I am on Snowleopard 10.6 using RVM, Ruby 1.9.2-head and Rails 3.05. Responses to similar questions recommended installing ImageMagick, which I successfully did. Other suggested installing the "libmagick9-dev library", however, I can not figure out how to do this.</p> <p>I'm a new developer, and any assistance or directions to an existing explanation or resource is greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p> <pre><code>jjdevenuta(opal)$ gem install rmagick Fetching: rmagick-2.13.1.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could take a while...

You can find it <a href="http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/" rel="noreferrer">HERE</a>. Since originally asking this question I have removed all my prior installs of things like rmagick and imagemagick, and reinstalled them using Homebrew. Super easy with a huge catalog of packages, and updates/uninstalls are a cinch as well!</p>
