But when I do this:
$ locate Magick-config
/opt/local/bin/Magick-config
/opt/local/share/man/man1/Magick-config.1.gz

Any ideas?

Answer 1

command: sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Answer 2

It isn't quite the answer to the question, but the recommended way of installing Imagemagick and Rmagick on Mac is through homebrew. It's the only way I could get Imagemagick and Rmagick playing nicely together on Mac.

Answer 3

For Ubuntu (11.10+) try installing the libmagick++-dev package.
For other Linux distributions, try installing the libmagick-dev package.

Answer 4

For my case, I am installing it on Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3, got same error, tried to installed the following two package suites and it worked, maybe either one of them:
sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Answer 5

On mac, after
brew install imagemagick
Don't forget to link dylibs with:
brew link imagemagick

Answer 6

I had to transfer an old application to a debian stretch server.
The used ruby version was 2.0.x.
imagemagick was installed including libmagickwand-dev.
Trying to install rmagick 2.13.2 failed.
I had to upgrade the rmagick verion (patched my Gemfile.lock) to use rmagick 2.16.0, the last version supporting ruby 2.0.
