Installing RMagick on OS X Leopard without MacPorts or Fink

by tiffani —

Had quite a time trying to get ImageMagick and RMagick to cooperate on my MacBook Pro after having several failed installs via MacPorts. Found this post which describes how to get everything going sans any kind of package manager. Substitute new versions of everything in and we’re set. :) Installing RMagick on Leopard (without MacPorts or Fink)

I’m not such a big fan of Fink (too outdated) and MacPorts (awfully poor dependency handling) either. But as my servers are running smoothly on Gentoo for years now, I’ve chosen Gentoo Prefix as my distro of choice for the Mac, too. Here’s more on how I did it:
