Can't install RMagick on OS X Mountain Lion

I've been struggling with this for a while. I'm running Mac OS 10.7 (Mountain Lion), and I'm trying to install the RMagick gem so I can use it in my Rails 3 app. I already installed imagemagick with homebrew, and that seemed to finish successfully. I also installed the XQuartz package. When I add 'rmagick' to my gemfile and run bundle install, I get this error:

Installing rmagick (2.13.1) with native extensions 
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/Andrew/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@global/gems/rmagick-2.13.1 for inspection.

An error occured while installing rmagick (2.13.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Process finished with exit code 5

Any idea why this is happening?

Fixed it by following these steps. Arrggh!

  1. Install XCode 4.4
  2. Install command line tools (from the preferences in Xcode)
  3. Install XQuartz
  4. Install ImageMagic (brew install —vd imagemagick)
  5. sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
  6. mdfind MagickWand.h (to get the path to the MagickWand.h file)
  7. C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.7.7-6/include/ImageMagick gem install rmagick
