Clean install on mac (High Sierra) ImageMagick problem
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Starting with a clean install of High Sierra, I was building a new TaxonWorks installation, and discovered that the rmagick gem would not install, because it could not find the ImageMagick installation, probably because, rather than /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/, it got installed in /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick@6. In order to facilitate the install of the rmagick gem, I added PKG_CONFIG_PATH= invocation (see macos.md). This permitted the rmagick gem install to succeed, but many of the image-related tests fail. Since this machine was needed to run a specific rake task, and image processing was not required, I left it as it was. As I understand it, the default ImageMagick is at version 7+, which has not been shown to work with the rmagick gem (per MJY), thus the installation of imagemagick@6.
Closing this. Add pertinent bits to a troubleshooting section if needed.
