Magick-config

[Len Lawrence]

On Mandriva 2008.1 with all the ImageMagick stuff installed.  Tried to
install the ruby gem rmagick and hit a problem; no Magick-config.  
Magick-config is documented as a command in the man pages but cannot be
run.  According to Google Ubuntu and Debian users found the same problem
but were able to install particular packages to solve it.  Those
packages either do not exist on Mandriva or have some other name.  I
suspect that the distribution simply lacks the required files.  Has
anybody  tried to use Magick-config recently?  If not, could somebody
with 2009.1 installed try

  Image-magick --version

Expecting 2009.1 PowerPack in the post any day.

You need to install libmagick-devel

Thanks Charles, but that was my first thought.  It is installed but
Magick-config is missing, so, as I said, the package must lack some
critical files.  My hope is that this omission is fixed in 2009.1 as I
am keen to try RMagick.

Len, Magick-config is in /usr/bin on my 2009.1 installation.

You are doing something wrong:

[eugeni@localhost ~]$ which Magick-config
/usr/bin/Magick-config
[eugeni@localhost ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/Magick-config
libmagick-devel-6.3.8.9-1mdv2008.1
[eugeni@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/mandriva-release
Mandriva Linux release 2008.1 (Official) for i586

Yes, I must have done something wrong.  I checked last night and it was
not there, left it for a few hours and now it is there and returns the
expected version number.  That is totally weird, unless there was some
timing problem.  The system is always busy.  Anyway, this morning "gem
install rmagick" worked without a hitch.  Molto strano.
