Hello all

I've been plowing through tutorials all day trying to install RMagick, and have gotten pretty far now I reckon, but have stumbled apon an error that I really don't know how to solve, nor get any useful info on.

When I try to install the gem, I get this message:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rmagick:
 ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

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 suppose that the part in bold is the important part, and I've done some research and have understood that stdint.h is some sort of header, but I don't know how to install it.

I also checked in the mkmf.log file which gave me this easy to read bit of info :

Anyone have any ideas?

Big thanks in advance for any help!

Are you on windows? If you are, chances are, as ur log said, you need to install http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167 <-- the development kit since some commands for compiling doesn't exist...

Thank you for your answer Kasumi. I am on Windows, and have already installed the devkit.

Sorry, I overlook this, you are not installing the correct version of rmagick... windows has a seperate gem rmagick-win32, and note the it needs a very specific version of Image Magick that comes with the source zip file http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12

I solved this by running 'apt-get install libmagick9-dev' which installs ImageMagicks devkit.
