rmagick gem install "Can't find Magick-config"

I get the error shown below when attempting to install the rmagick gem. I am on Snowleopard 10.6 using RVM, Ruby 1.9.2-head and Rails 3.05. Responses to similar questions recommended installing ImageMagick, which I successfully did. Other suggested installing the "libmagick9-dev library", however, I can not figure out how to do this.

I'm a new developer, and any assistance or directions to an existing explanation or resource is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE If you're a Mac/OS X user I would HIGHLY recommend using Homebrew as your package installer/manager. You can find it HERE. Since originally asking this question I have removed all my prior installs of things like rmagick and imagemagick, and reinstalled them using Homebrew. Super easy with a huge catalog of packages, and updates/uninstalls are a cinch as well!

bundle install fails with SSL certificate verification error [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

SSL Error When installing rubygems, Unable to pull data from 'https://rubygems.org/ 14 answers

When I run bundle install for my Rails 3 project on Centos 5.5 it fails with an error:

Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 
read server certificate B: certificate verify failed 
(https://bb-m.rubygems.org/gems/multi_json-1.3.2.gem)
An error occured while installing multi_json (1.3.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install multi_json -v '1.3.2'` succeeds before bundling.

When I try to install the gem manually (by gem install multi_json -v '1.3.2') it works. The same problem occurs with several other gems. I use RVM (1.12.3), ruby 1.9.2, bundler 1.1.3.

How to fix it?

The 'json' native gem requires installed build tools

I have ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18) [i386-mingw32] installed on my windows 7 machine. Now I tried to install the json gem using the command, "gem install json" and got the following error.

ERROR:  Error installing json:
    The 'json' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from '[http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads][1]' and follow the instructions
at '[http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit][2]'

Then I went and downloaded DevKit-4.5.0-20100819-1536-sfx.exe. Extracted it to C:\DevKit. And then from the command prompt I executed the following commands.

ruby dk.rb init

After the above command is executed, i verified that config.yaml is generated and it has the path for my ruby folder added automatically. This is the line at the bottom of the config.yaml file "- C:/Ruby192"

ruby dk.rb review

I got the message that devkit functionaliy will be injected into the rubies when you run "ruby dk.rb install"

ruby dk.rb install

I got the following message.

[INFO] RubyGems override already in place for C:/Ruby192, skipping.
[INFO] Installing C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/devkit.rb

Now I tried executing the JSON gem again using the command gem install json. Then got the same error message as before.

ERROR:  Error installing json:

Am I missing something.

As far as I can tell the problem is with the mysql2 gem. MySQL seems to be running fine and my Gemfile references mysql2, my database.yml file seems ok also.

The error mentions

Reason: image not found - /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle

And yet

jontybrook$ cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2
jontybrook$ ls
client.rb   em.rb       error.rb      mysql2.bundle result.rb

MySQL2.bundle is there!?

If I use the old mysql gem, WEBrick boots fine. But that's not ideal, is it?

I've tried everything google can give me! Any help much appreciated.

Nokogiri installation fails -libxml2 is missing

I always worked my way around Nokogiri by following this link for nokogiri tutorial.

http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html

but this time even after installing all the dependencies, nokogiri gem doesnt get installed. I get the following error.

libxml2 is missing.  please visit <http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html>

so i tried installing it by specifying the libxml2 and libxslt dirs

sudo gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib --with-xslt-dir=/usr/

but it gives the same error.

i have followed all the other related stackoverflow articles and none helped. does anyone have any idea over the problem solution.

Invalid gemspec because of the date format in specification

When I include a gem that I made, thanks to Bundler (version 1.0.12), in a Gemfile and then I try to bundle or to rake just like that:

$ rake

I've got this error message:

Can't find the PostgreSQL client library (libpq)

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL for Rails on Mac OS X 10.6. First I tried the MacPorts install but that didn't go well so I did the one-click DMG install. That seemed to work.

I suspect I need to install the PostgreSQL development packages but I have no idea how to do that on OS X.

Here's what I get when I try to do sudo gem install pg:
