<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
RMagick is an interface between the Ruby programming language and the
ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick image processing libraries.
<h2 id="contact">Contact Information</h2>
__Author:__ Tim Hunter
__Email:__ <rmagick@rubyforge.org>
__RubyForge:__ <http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/>
<h2 id="prereq">Prerequisites</h2>
__O/S:__ Linux, Sun Solaris, Cygwin, FreeBSD, OS X.
__Ruby__ 1.6.7 or later. You can get Ruby from <http://www.ruby-lang.org>.
RVG requires Ruby 1.8.
Either __ImageMagick__ 6.0.0 or later, or any release of
__GraphicsMagick__. GraphicsMagick is a friendly fork of ImageMagick
5.5.1. You can get ImageMagick from <http://www.imagemagick.org>. You
can get GraphicsMagick from <http://www.graphicsmagick.org>. ImageMagick
and GraphicsMagick have slightly different capabilities. Please consult
their web sites if you have questions.
<h2 id="tips">Tips for installing and configuring ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick</h2>
See <http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html> for the latest version
of these tips.
If you are installing RMagick by compiling the source code, I strongly
encourage you to install the latest version of ImageMagick or
GraphicsMagick _from source_. If you have never installed ImageMagick or
GraphicsMagick before, I also strongly encourage you to read the
README.txt file as many times as is necessary for you to understand how to
configure it. ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are large and complicated
programs and can be difficult to configure. Follow these tips to minimize
the amount of time you'll spend and your frustration level.
_Do not_ simply type `./configure` and expect the defaults to be correct
for you. Since you are installing ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick to use with
Ruby, consider whether you want to skip ImageMagick's/GraphicMagick's
support for Perl and C++ by using the `--without-perl` and
`--without-magick-plus-plus` options. Doing so will speed up the
installation process and save some disk space. You will almost certainly
want to specify the `--enable-shared` and `--disable-static` options.
Determine which image formats you are interested in using and make sure
that you have installed the libraries that ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick uses
to process these formats. ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick use additional
libraries to support some image formats. If you do not install those
libraries you cannot read and write those image formats. You will need to
configure ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick to support the JPG, PNG, TIFF, and
WMF formats in order to execute all the RMagick sample programs. See
ImageMagick's or GraphicMagick's README.txt file for more information.
Once you have determined the configuration options you need, run the
configure script. When it completes, read the summary output to see if
configuration worked the way you expected. Here's an example of the
summary output from ImageMagick's configure script. Notice that the
result of each option is listed in the "Configured value" column.
Option Value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shared libraries --enable-shared=yes yes
Static libraries --enable-static=no no
Module support --with-modules=yes yes
GNU ld --with-gnu-ld=yes yes

Quantum depth --with-quantum-depth=8 8
Delegate Configuration:
BZLIB --with-bzlib=yes yes
DPS --with-dps=yes yes
FlashPIX --with-fpx=yes no
FreeType 2.0 --with-ttf=yes yes
Ghostscript None gs (7.07.2)
Ghostscript fonts --with-gs-font-dir=default /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/
Ghostscript lib --with-gslib=no no
Graphviz --with-dot=yes no
JBIG --with-jbig=yes no
JPEG v1 --with-jpeg=yes yes
JPEG-2000 --with-jp2=yes no
LCMS --with-lcms=yes yes
Magick++ --with-magick-plus-plus=no no
PERL --with-perl=no no
PNG --with-png=yes yes
TIFF --with-tiff=yes yes
Windows fonts --with-windows-font-dir=/mnt/windows/windows/fonts /mnt/windows/windows/fonts/
WMF --with-wmf=yes yes
X11 --with-x= yes
XML --with-xml=yes yes
ZLIB --with-zlib=yes yes
X11 Configuration:
X_CFLAGS = -I/usr/X11R6/include
X_PRE_LIBS = -lSM -lICE
X_LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib
X_EXTRA_LIBS =
If the results are not what you wanted, install any missing libraries,
choose new or different options, or whatever it takes, erase the
config.cache file, and re-run `configure`. Repeat as often as necessary
before moving to the `make` and `make install` steps.
Detailed information about all of ImageMagick's and GraphicsMagick's
configuration options may be found in their README.txt and INSTALL.txt
files.
#### Windows Metafile Format
As noted in the ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick README.txt files, to
support images in the Windows Metafile format, ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick
requires an additional library. Without this library some of the RMagick
sample programs will not work. ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick require
libwmf 0.2.5, 0.2.7, or 0.2.2 to support the WMF format. (Avoid libwmf
0.2.6!)
<h2 id="install">Installing RMagick</h2>
Installing RMagick is much simpler than installing ImageMagick or
GraphicsMagick. Note that the make step runs all the example programs.
This process both builds the example images used in the documentation and
validates your RMagick installation. This step can take 5-15 minutes
depending on the speed of your computer.
<h4 id="options">Configuration Options</h4>
Type `./configure --help` to see a list of configuration options. In
addition to the regular options, there are a few RMagick-specific options:
* --with-doc-dir=_directory_
> Specify the directory to install the RMagick documentation.
> By default this is $prefix/share/RMagick, where $prefix is the
> prefix specified by --prefix. For example, to install the
> documentation in /home/user/RMagick, specify:
> `./configure --with-doc-dir=/home/user/RMagick`
* --enable-allow-example-errors
> Normally the documentation installation terminates if 5 examples fail.
> If you use this option, the installation does not check for failing
> examples and will always complete. This option is useful if you're having
> trouble installing RMagick and you want to see all the failing examples.
* --disable-htmldoc (or --enable-htmldoc=no)
> By default the install process runs all the RMagick example programs
> and generates HTML versions of all the examples. This option causes
> the install process to skip this step. No documentation is installed.
* --with-graphics-magick
> If you have both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick installed, this option will
> force RMagick to be configured with GraphicsMagick.
* --with-so-dir=_directory_
> The directory for ruby extensions.
* --with-ruby-path=_directory_
> The path to set the !# line in Ruby scripts. The default is $prefix/bin/ruby.
* --with-ruby-prog=_name_
> The name of the Ruby executable. The default is `ruby`.
* --with-make-prog=_name_
> The name of the `make` program.
* --with-rbconfig=_directory_
> The directory of the rbconfig.rb file to use. The default is Ruby's
> rbconfig.
<h4 id="scripts">Running the <code>configure</code> and <code>make</code> scripts</h4>
De-compress the RMagick-0.0.0.tar.gz archive and enter the top
directory. Then type:
$ ./configure <configuration options>
$ make
($ su)
$ make install
(optionally)
$ make clean
<h2 id="uhoh">Things that can go wrong</h2>
#### Can't install RMagick. Can't find libMagick or one of the dependent libraries. Check the config.log file for more detailed information.
The message can also refer to "libGraphicsMagick". Typically this message means that one or more of the libraries that Imagemagick/GraphicsMagick depends on hasn't been installed. Examine the config.log file in the installation directory for any error messages. These messages typically contain enough additional information for you to be able to diagnose the problem.
#### Cannot open shared object file
When make is running the examples, if you get a message like this:
/home/you/RMagick-0.0.0/lib/RMagick.rb:11:in `require': libMagick.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -
/home/you/RMagick-0.0.0/ext/RMagick/RMagick.so (LoadError)
you probably do not have the directory in which the ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick
library is installed in your load path. An easy way to fix this is to define the
directory in the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH environment variable. For example, suppose you
installed the GraphicsMagick library libGraphicsMagick.so in /usr/local/lib.
(By default this is where it is installed.) Create the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH variable
like this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
On Linux, see `ld(1)` and `ld.so(8)` for more information. On other operating
systems, see the documentation for the dynamic loading facility.
#### No such file or directory - "/tmp/rmagick6872.6"
When make is running the examples, if you get a message like this:
hook /home/me/src/RMagick-0.0.0/./post-setup.rb failed:
No such file or directory - "/tmp/rmagick6872.6"
you probably do not have a temporary directory environment variable set. Set
the TMPDIR environment variable to your temporary directory. For example:
export TMPDIR=/home/me/tmp
<h2 id="upgrade">Upgrading</h2>
If you upgrade to a newer release of ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick, make sure
you're using a release of RMagick that supports that release. Usually I put out
a new release of RMagick with every new release of ImageMagick. It's safe to
install a newer release of RMagick over an earlier release.
<h2 id="uninstall">Uninstalling</h2>
The `uninstall` target will uninstall RMagick completely:
make uninstall
<h2 id="samples">More samples</h2>
You can find more sample RMagick programs in the /example directory.
These programs are not installed in the RMagick documentation tree.
<h2 id="bugs">Reporting bugs</h2>
Please report bugs in RMagick, its documentation, or its installation
programs to me via the bug tracker on the [RMagick project page at
RubyForge](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick). However, I can't help
with Ruby installation and configuration or ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick
installation and configuration. Please report problems with that software
to their respective authors or distributors.
