An error occurred while installing rmagick (4.2.4), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install rmagick -v '4.2.4' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  rmagick

I have installed pkg-config and imagemagick@6 with homebrew

I have followed various SO answers to debug, but nothing is working. How can I install rmagick ?

ERROR: Can't install RMagick 4.2.4. Can't find ImageMagick with pkg-config

Solution

  • There is currently a clash with the homebrew installed "highway"

    workaround to get rmagick installed

    brew install pkg-config imagemagick
    brew  uninstall highway
    bundle install
    brew install highway
