I am having a problem loading imagemagick and rmagick on webfaction.

I have installed a rails app called Balderapp that organizes images.

I can't seem to upload the image through balder.

Balder uses imagemagick and rmagick

when i use the console and do this I get a nill as a return making me think rmagick is not working

irb(main):003:0> require 'RMagick' => nil

thx

The general steps are:

  1. Install ImageMagick from source in your home directory.
  2. Install the RMagick gem, linked to the ImageMagick libraries that you built in step 1.

Detailed steps are available in WebFaction's procedure for installing ImageMagick and RMagick.

On Web faction make sure your are in the correct folder cd $HOME/webapps/app app is the name of your app. Make sure the rmagick gem is installed ./bin/gem list

in ./bin/irb then this should work:

require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'

if you are using ruby 1.8.* then do not forget to do the require 'rubygems'
