RMagick Gem Install

I've been attempting to install the RMagick gem.

Here is my process and results:

I am experiencing the same issues on scipio (which also claims to be running sarge).. RMagick is very important to the usability of my app (it will work without it but many annoyances occur).. So any response would be greatly appreciated.

configure: error: unrecognized option: --install-dir=/home/(name)/gems

That's your problem. you're correct that you have to specify the install direcotry, so it's writing to your home directory and not some other folder you don't have permissions for. But the configure script doesn't understand your "--install-dir" As sigguested you should see what "configure --help" says, perhaps you can figure out what command you should be using to specify installation directory.


The seconed part of your installscript may work once you get the first one working. I'm guessing it needs to exit without errors, to provide the proper info for the seconed part.

Also if DH claims that they have this gem allready installed, it might be you can contact support and point out to them that it's not working, and they'll install it for you.

I askes this question to DH support. This is their answer:


RMagick is installed and available, just not as a gem. It's a standard ruby library instead.

I guess this solves our worries.
