I tried to install Redmine on Cent OS 5.9.
*** extconf.rb failed *** gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2'
I forgot to capture the error message, but using sudo gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2' failed.
→ Instead of using sudo, I switched to the superuser with su - and then,
# gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2'
the installation went smoothly.
I was stuck for quite a while...
On Redhat-based systems, it's better not to use sudo! I should have followed the proper conventions.
