Hello,

I'm trying to install ImageMagick and get following error message:
checking for wand/MagickWand.h... no

Can't install RMagick 2.10.0. Can't find MagickWand.h.

Does anyone know how to get that MagickWand.h? Couldn't find a lib in apt-get...

Did you install the ImageMagick development RPM? Typically package maintainers only include the ImageMagick header files in the development RPM (e.g. ImageMagick-devel-6.5.4-2.i386.rpm).

No I didn't. I compiled and installed the sources. How can I install MagickWand afterwards?

If you compile from source the headers are typically installed in /usr/local/include/ImageMagick.

Thank you for your help!

Strange... wasn't set. I created a link and found the missing MagickWand.h in /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/include/ImageMagick/wand

But it's the same error then before. How can I tell the gem install thing where the MagickWand.h is located?

/usr/local/include/ImageMagick/include/ImageMagick/wand

The header files should be in /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/wand. We support Imagemagick. For questions about an RMagick install you will need to post to their forums or mailing lists.

Linking /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/wand to /usr/local/include/ImageMagick/include/ImageMagick/wand didn't help. I guess I have to ask on a RMagick forum. Thanks anyways!
