Find a lot of posts on it and followed what they say but does not work for me.

brew install imagemagick gem install rmagick

it shows me following error

checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes
checking for /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2... yes
checking for Magick-config... yes

Can't install RMagick 2.12.0. Can't find the ImageMagick library or one of the dependent libraries. Check the mkmf.log file for more detailed information.

Is it "ragick", or is it "rmagic"? –  Anderson Green Jan 2 '13 at 3:33
its rmagick, gem for ruby and imagemagick. –  Gull Jan 2 '13 at 3:46
The title uses the term "ragick". Is this a typo, or is it intentional? –  Anderson Green Jan 2 '13 at 4:06
thanks for pointing out, it was a typo. –  Gull Jan 2 '13 at 7:22
