Ruby on Rails with RMagick, a breeze to install on Leopard
Ok, so I started my Rails work with Tiger and painfully used rails to get RoR setup with RMagick.
I did the same thing on Leopard, and it also ended up being a pain. However, after some expiremention I’ve decided to roll with the preinstalled RoR that comes with Leopard rather then installing everything with ports. I’ve also got the RMagic install down to only four steps:)
Assumptions: you are running Leopard, you have already installed xCode, and you have Mac Ports.
- sudo port install tiff -macosx
- sudo port install ImageMagick
- sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libMagick++.dylib /opt/local/lib/libmagick.dylib
- sudo gem install rmagick
DONE
