I would like to know about alternative ways to build a development machine for Ruby 1.9.3 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, that does not require Xcode.
Mountain Lion is now Golden Master as I'm writing this question, so it could be considered as final version. That cannot be said about Xcode, that is a preview release yet.
RVM recommends to install osx-gcc-installer over Xcode, but I would like not to mess my system.
What is the cleanest way to install Ruby 1.9.3 on Mountain Lion without Xcode?
osx-gcc-installer turns out to be a very good option to replace Xcode in order to install Ruby 1.9.3
These are the steps I have followed:
Download & install the latest version of osx-gcc-installer here (GCC-10.7-v2 is fine): https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer
Install RVM as usual and select 1.9.3-head as the default ruby installation: https://rvm.io/rvm/install/
Install Homebrew: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation
Install libksba to resolve some dependencies with Ruby 1.9.3: brew install libksba
That's it! You should now have Ruby 1.9.3 installed on Mountain Lion working perfectly.
If you need some other packages, install them now through Homebrew, such as Imagemagick for example: brew install imagemagick
It's possible that you need XQuartz for Homebrew to work properly, as Apple is not shipping X11 since Mountain Lion. You can download it here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
EDIT:
Now (since 29th July) Command line tools for Xcode 4.4 are available.
So, the new steps are these:
Download & install Command line tools for Xcode 4.4 (you don't need to download Xcode): https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
Install Homebrew: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation
Install automake: brew install automake
Install RVM as usual and select 1.9.3-head as the default ruby installation: https://rvm.io/rvm/install/
Optional step: You may need XQuartz for some components, for example for Imagemagick, so download & install XQuartz: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
I also had to add this:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
in order to make the Apple command line tools work with the rvm. Without this I had repeated llvm issues:
The provided CC(gcc) is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read rvm requirements.
I had to add
export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
as well as
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2
I was still getting compilation errors due to readline (things like readline.c: In function ‘readline_s_vi_editing_mode_p’: in the make.log file), and the RVM readline page didn't seem to help, so I ran
brew install readline
followed by
rvm install 1.9.3 -C --with-readline-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.4
When I try do install rmagick I get the following error message:
Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find MagickWand.h.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8, ruby 1.9.2p290, rvm 1.10.2.
Can anyone help me please to solve this problem.
If you're on Ubuntu, installing this package is what fixed it for me:
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
It looks like ImageMagick 7 changed include file path.
On building rmagick, since it includes file as wand/MagickWand.h There are no workarounds. It looks like sticking with ImageMagick 6 for now.
On Mac OS X (I tested on Sierra), I used HomeBrew's versions tap like:
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install imagemagick#6
Then, use the path shown on above installation:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/lib/pkgconfig gem install rmagick
To install with ImageMagick 6.
I didn't want to mess with environment variables since I wanted bundler to be able to compile this gem on its own on a CI machine. Instead, I used Homebrew to install pkg-config:
brew install pkgconfig
and the next time I tried compiling the RMagick gem it found the header file without issue.
(This is pkg-config 0.28, ImageMagick 6.8.0-10, and RMagick 2.13.2, all on Mountain Lion.)
I had a similar issue with running
$ gem install rmagick
First of all, do you have imagemagick installed? If you're not sure, run
$ convert --version
If you do, you probably either installed it with fink or macports (maybe homebrew?). What is happening is that rvm can't find the imagemagick directory.
After reading
https://superuser.com/questions/361435/i-have-compiled-imagemagick-on-my-centos-and-rmagick-wont-install
I exported the imagemagick path by adding
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
to my ~/.bash_profile, sourcing the new profile, then running:
gem install rmagick
It worked for me after I did this.
fix this setting the include path of your current imagemagick installation:
Install ImageMagick with brew
brew install imagemagick
find library
$ mdfind MagickWand.h
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.5-7/include/ImageMagick/wand/MagickWand.h
Install rmagick gem
$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/path/MagickWand.h gem install rmagick
example:
$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.5-7/include/ImageMagick/ gem install rmagick
I marked this as a favorite because it seems to come back to bite me with every new system I need to install RMagick on (and time has passed and version numbers have rolled).
Mac OS X 10.8.4
rvm 1.22.3
ruby-2.0.0-p247
Xcode 4.6.3 developer tools installed
$ brew install imagemagick
==> /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.6-3

$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.6-3/include/ImageMagick-6 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.6-3/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick
Successfully installed rmagick-2.13.2
Many thanks to everyone who added helpful answers above!
Mac users using brew
If you can use v6 of ImageMagick instead of 7, you can try this
brew install imagemagick#6 --force && brew link imagemagick#6 --force
Note this will unlink your existing IM installation, so be careful if you have other projects on your machine using ImageMagick without problems.
For my own and others edification, I got past the error about the magicwand.h by using the suggestion xonico. MDFind plus the C_INCLUDE_PATH. However, it then gave me an error about MagickCore.pc. My final command to get this working had to include both like so:
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install rmagick
Obviously your paths will vary depending on whether you're using brew like me and what version of imagemagick you were installing. Also, xcode command line tools did have to be installed, as others have mentioned.
Thanks for everyone's posts on this! I am plussing your answers since it contributed to mine!
For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev
gem install rmagick
I had a problem after update to Maverics.
It have lost a lot of linkings.
In my case I had to refresh links to pkg-config
brew unlink pkg-config
brew link pkg-config
Then installing rmagick worked like a charm.
I updated to Mountain Lion and started getting this same problem. I had to re-install brew, XCode, the XCode tools - pretty much the whole environment!
I eventually solved this problem using the answer from phopkins above...
brew install pkgconfig
Once that was successfully completed (I had to delete some old symlinks first) then I was able to successfully install the RMagick gem
This worked for me on Mac OsX
Install Imagemagick:
brew remove imagemagick
brew install imagemagick
Make sure pkg-config is correctly linked:
brew uninstall pkg-config
brew install pkg-config
brew unlink pkg-config && brew link pkg-config
Install gem
gem install rmagick
For Ubuntu users:
It will never done directly on Ubuntu. You should first install packages to run this command...:
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
...and then do install:
gem install rmagick
You may get the same issue, for that, Try clearing your apt repository and removing any broken packages first:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
If the system identifies any broken packages, forcefully remove them (replace package_name with your own):
sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq package_name
Then re-install any missing packages again. :)
An issue for me was that rmagick is out of date and not updated regularly. If you have too new of an ImageMagick version, then it might not be compatible. Check your version of ImageMagick using the following:
$ convert --version
If the ImageMagick version is > 7, it is not compatable with rmagick. The user will get errors such as
Can't install RMagick 2.16.0. Can't find MagickWand.h.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Go back to version six of ImageMagick until they update rmagick to be compatible with version seven of ImageMagick. Someone has hosted the appropriate version(6) in a separate gem - 'imagemagick#6'.
If you need rmagick to work but currently have an imagemagick version 7 or higher, here are the steps to switch:
$ gem install imagemagick#6
$ brew unlink imagemagick
$ brew link imagemagick#6 --force
Helped me on Debian Wheezy 64bit
apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev
Try reinstalling both Imagemagick and PkgConfig. That should fix it for Mavericks
brew update && brew upgrade
brew reinstall imagemagick
brew reinstall pkgconfig
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick gem install rmagick
I was really struggling with this on OS X Mountain Lion (after upgrading from Lion) and none of the suggestions regarding C_INCLUDE_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, ln'ing various files, etc., were working. On the same day I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I also upgraded XCode to 4.5.2, but I didn't really think too much of this.
Eventually I stopped trying to install RMagick and had to pass on the work to a colleague.
Then, by chance, I found that I was trying to use bundle install on another project and I wasn't able to install the json gem because "make" could not be found. I checked into that and found you need to go to XCode -> Preferences -> Downloads and install the command line tools to get make working again. The json gem installed fine.
Then I paused...and tried
gem install rmagick
One more time. It worked perfectly.
for a rails based application, I found this
sudo apt-get install -y libmagickwand-6-headers
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 gem install rmagick
bundle update rmagick
bundle install
worked on debian jessie
I ran into this because I'd run OS X's Migration Assistant and nothing was relinked after the migration. You need to check the output of Wand-config --ldflags --libs. In my case it gave:
$ Wand-config --ldflags --libs
/usr/local/bin/Wand-config: line 50: pkg-config: command not found
/usr/local/bin/Wand-config: line 53: pkg-config: command not found
After relinking pkg-config, libpng, and libfreetype, that became:
$ Wand-config --ldflags --libs
-L/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.8-9/lib -lMagickWand-6.Q16 -lMagickCore-6.Q16
-L/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.8-9/lib -lMagickWand-6.Q16 -lMagickCore-6.Q16
And then:
$ gem install rmagick

Package MagickCore was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `MagickCore.pc'
then:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
in my .bashrc file to pick up MagickCore.pc, then created two symlinks:
ln -s /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/wand /usr/local/include/ImageMagick-6/wand
ln -s /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/magick /usr/local/include/ImageMagick-6/magick
Now:
$ gem install rmagick
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed rmagick-2.13.2
1 gem installed
boom everything works fine.
At arch linux, after installing imagemagick#6, gem wasn't able to install package rmagick and got error below.
Can't install RMagick 2.16.0. Can't find MagickWand.h
Worked for me using below steps
added pkgconfig path to .bashrc
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/imagemagick6/pkgconfig"
Created two symlinks as below
ln -s /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/wand /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/wand
ln -s /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/magick /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/magick
There are some variants to this problem. Mostly the case is dealing with a legacy application that run older versions of ruby.
rmagick has a dependancy on imagemagick... but not just any. If you've gone too far ahead, it may be wise to backtrack:
brew uninstall imagemagick
Then proceed with an appropriate version
brew install imagemagick#6
then you path needs to be adjusted and forced upon homebrew
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/bin:$PATH"
brew link --force imagemagick#6
then you can install rmagick to most recent or versioned
gem install rmagick -v '2.15.4' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
I had a hard time getting this same issue to work when I had a default ImageMagick install on OSX 10.8 (no homebrew or macports). No combination of the suggestions in this thread or threads linked to from this thread worked for me (modifying the paths for my local install of course).
I simply deleted the default ImageMagick 6 install, and then reinstalled with macports. My rmagick install worked immediately after with no other changes.
on OSX Maverick 10.9.1
it took me ages to figure it out but I solved these issues the following way:
nano /etc/paths
changed:
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
into:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
that that local stuff, like 'brew' is loaded first.
now I hit 'brew doctor' into the terminal, to see if there's something messed up
if you get the following output
Your system is ready to brew.
everthing is fine. if not ti will tell you what to do. Like kick out unbrewed stuff, broken libs, clean symlinks and whatnot.
When you are ready to brew, you need ghostscript(for pdfs), libpng, imagemagick via brew.
then you can happily type : 'gem install rmagick', in case you did't kill your ruby setup. But thats easy to reinstall via your cleaned up brew.
PS:
another helpful command is: 'which convert', to show you what version of imagemagick is used by the system.
as well as --version
so if you installed git via brew and do 'git --version' and it returns some apple git version, your load path is broken...
On Mac OS X 10.9, try to update your Xcode if there's a warning about it.
$ brew doctor
I you found some warning, do:
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder
Then try:
$ bundle install
again
That worked fine for me.
On CentOS 6.5 x64, it was pretty easy:
yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2'
I was able to fix this by upgrading to 2.13.2
All brew options failed to install rmagick 2.13.1 on yosemite 10.10
this worked
get the latest RVM
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
rvm install 2.1.1
rvm use 2.1.1
download and install the package file
http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick
(I used pacifist to install)
Confirm location of MagickCore.pc file
mdfind magickcore.pc
eg. /opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/MagickCore.pc
Manually download rmagick-2.15.2.gem file
https://rubygems.org/gems/rmagick/versions/2.15.2
from that dir
sudo C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/include/ImageMagick-6/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig gem install --local rmagick-2.15.2.gem
If you are having issues with bundle installer still complaining about 2.13.1
In your gem file / gem.lock file upgrade ALL dependencies
rmagick (2.13.1) - > rmagick (>= 2.15.2)
Got same error for alpine 3.9 image build. It comes with ImageMagick 7.0.8.38-r0
To fix that you either use alpine 3.5 with ImageMagick 6.9.6.8-r1:
FROM alpine:3.5
Or install ImageMagick 6.9.6.8-r1 with package repository for 3.5:
RUN apk add imagemagick-dev=6.9.6.8-r1 --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.5/main/
There is an open issue in rmagick repo regarding failed builds for ImageMagick 7.0.x. so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Here is what I have done so far.
Clean install of OS X Lion
Downloaded and installed latest version of Xcode from the App Store.
Installed Git
Installed Homebrew
Installed RVM
I am now trying to install Ruby Enterprise Edition for a project with rvm install ree and receive the following error:
$ rvm install ree
ree-1.8.7-2011.03 - #installing
ERROR: Error running './installer -a /Users/FaraazKhan/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2011.03

/Users/FaraazKhan/.rvm/log/ree-1.8.7-2011.03/install.log
ERROR: There has been an error while trying to run the ree installer. Halting
the installation.
I have already tried CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install ree and with the same result.
I was able to duplicate your error, just now. This solved it for me:
$ rvm remove ree
$ export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
$ rvm install --force ree
Using MacPorts you can install Ruby Enterprise Edition, as well as Ruby 1.9.2 for the local user in OS X Lion while having Xcode 4.2 installed by using "Apple's version of gcc 4.2."
Prerequisites:
OS X Lion (tested in 10.7.2)
Xcode 4.2
rvm 1.9.1
MacPorts 2.0.3
Execute the following commands:
$ sudo port install apple-gcc42
$ export CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-42
then
$ rvm install ree
$ rvm use ree
or
$ rvm install 1.9.2
$ rvm use 1.9.2
optionally
$ rvm use ree --default
or
$ rvm use 1.9.2 --default
I hope this helps.
-Joe
No need to install MacPorts or downgrade to 4.1 to get GCC, I used the installer package at https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer with xCode 4.2 already installed, and had no problem installing 1.9.2-head and 1.9.2-p290.
I did something similar to what jbg advised. Only I didn't use MacPorts. I just used the latest GCC package for Lion here.
This was after spending about a day and a half trying all of the other suggestions, downgrading to Xcode 4.1, etc. to no avail.
By the way, the direct link to Xcode 4.1 at Apple's site gave me an invalid checksum error, all three times I downloaded it. I saw a Twitter post from someone else who had the same problem.
At the risk of redundancy, I'll post my answer as well, since I tried everything on this page (and many others) and ended up with a hybrid of some of them which seemed the most likely to work. Note that some of these steps may not have been explicitly necessary but they were sufficient (i.e., I didn't go back and remove potentially unnecessary steps to get the simplest path to success).
Environment: Mac OS Lion 10.7.3, Homebrew components, rvm 1.10.2, ree 1.8.7-2012.01, Xcode 4.2.1 with legacy gcc-4.2 available.
Steps:
Ensure that a stable Ruby is current. Used 1.9.2 (rvm use 1.9.2) as 1.9.3 was a potential problem.
rm -fr $rvm_path/usr
rvm pkg install ree_dependencies
rvm remove ree
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
rvm install ree \
--with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr \
--with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr \
--with-iconv-dir=$rvm_path/usr \
--with-zlib-dir=$rvm_path/usr
I had previously tried the brew-specific solutions but those didn't work for me. Hope this helps someone!
Please do NOT use sudo with RVM, nor do you need to use rvmsudo EXCEPT for when upgrading RVM itself. Please see and read https://rvm.io/support/faq/ (Do I need to use sudo with gems? entry) and https://rvm.io/support/troubleshooting/ (Multi-User Installs - Using the sudo command entry)
Please remove your current installation and start over as using sudo will definitely mess up the permission structure for RVM. Please see the very bottom of https://rvm.io/support/troubleshooting/ (How do I completely clean out all traces of RVM from my system, including for system wide installs? entry)
Then begin again strictly following the Multi-User installation segment of https://rvm.io/rvm/install/
Thank you.
If you are on Lion 10.7.2, and have installed XCode 4.2, you need to downgrade XCode to 4.1
Here's how I did it (it was more complicated than you might think):
Download XCode 4.1 from Apple Dev Center (you'll need to login with your dev centre creds)
uninstall XCode 4.2
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
remove the XCode installer from your /Applications directory
run the XCode 4.1 package you downloaded, this will install a new XCode installer into /Applications
run the XCode installer in /Applications
When it stops, asking you to quit iTunes, you need to quit iTunes, and also use Activity Monitor to force quit the iTunes Helper
Wait for XCode 4.1 to install
Use the steps outlined above to install ree
Cheers,
Ian
This is how i did to install it. May be previous answers are already solve your problem. My step may be help people who experience same as me.
Frist, Install MacPort latest version

I'm trying to install ruby 1.8.6 on Snow Leopard using rvm.
I tried:
rvm install ruby-1.8.6-p111
and got an error explaining make couldn't find openssl.
make[1]: *** [openssl_missing.o] Error 1
I then tried:
rvm install ruby-1.8.6-p111 -C --with-openssl-dir=/System/Library/OpenSSL
(Snow Leopard seems to come with openssl and this seems to be the location)
In the logs I get the same error.
As per http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/openssl/ I then tried to install openssl using rvm like so:
rvm package install openssl
This time, in configure.error.log I get:
[2010-07-07 07:54:28] ./Configure os/compiler darwin-i386-cc -I/Users/craig/.rvm/usr/include -L/Users/craig/.rvm/usr/lib --prefix=/Users/craig/.rvm/usr zlib no-asm no-krb5 shared
target already defined - os/compiler (offending arg: darwin-i386-cc)
I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
I know it doesn't help you much, but thanks for the pointer to "rvm package install openssl" -- it fixed the original openssl_missing.o error for me and everything worked fine from there... eventually.
Here's what I ended up doing to get rvm to work on my laptop, minus some silly MacPorts fiddling because I had some old PowerPC binaries installed in /usr/local/lib.
rvm package install openssl
rvm package install readline
rvm package install iconv
sudo port install ncurses
sudo port install libyaml
sudo port install zlib
rvm install 1.9.2-head -C "--with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr --with-libyaml-dir=/opt/local --with-readline-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr --with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr"
Ha! I just tried to install rvm on my work computer and ran into your original problem!
Looks like there was a bug in ~/.rvm/scripts/package. Try running
rvm update --head
or
rvm get latest
to get the latest version from git and try again.
