I just installed ruby and rmagick on an ubuntu 10.4 server. Got some errors during the installation and thought i should summarize the procedure here:
Install ruby
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1 rubygems1.9.1
Install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Tried to install rmagick
sudo gem install rmagick
Got this error:
ERROR: Error installing rmagick: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:1:in `<main>' </main>
Found this page, which pointed med to install ruby1.9.1-dev package.
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
Ok, trying again to install rmagick
sudo gem install rmagick
Got this error:
ERROR: Error installing rmagick: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes checking for gcc... yes checking for Magick-config... no Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin *** 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.
Found this question on superuser.com which pointed me to install the libmagickwand-dev-package.
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
Finally, another attempt to install rmagick
sudo gem install rmagick
Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed rmagick-2.13.1 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for rmagick-2.13.1... Updating class cache with 0 classes... Installing RDoc documentation for rmagick-2.13.1...
Success!

I tried
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
getting dependencies issuses
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmagickwand-dev: Depends: libmagickwand2 (= 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1) but 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1.2 is to be installed
Depends: libmagickcore2-extra (= 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1) but 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1.2 is to be installed
Depends: libmagickcore-dev (= 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

prasanna: Are you using ubuntu 10.04 ?
This is a rather old post and I would suggest using RVM (https://rvm.io/) for installing ruby on ubuntu. Much less hassle than installing with ubuntu packages.
