Answer 1

For a clean install of imagemagick@6 required for rmagic 2.16 you need to run:

$ brew uninstall imagemagick
$ brew install imagemagick@6 && brew link imagemagic@6 --force
$ brew install pkg-config

Then you yould be able to run bundle install without issues.

Answer 2

For anyone having issues with this on OSX Sierra with homebrew installing imagemagick version 7+

You need to install version 6 of imagemagick in order for rmagick to work properly. These 3 commands worked for me. Install the version 6 of imagemagick and then force it to link. bundle installing rmagick should work properly afterwards.

$ brew install imagemagick@6

$ brew link imagemagick@6 --force

$ bundle install

You may need to brew uninstall imagemagick before installing and linking to @6.

Answer 3

I had the exact same problem, and running these on the command line fixed it (using mac):

$ brew uninstall pkg-config
$ brew install pkg-config
$ brew unlink pkg-config && brew link pkg-config
