Get Mountain Lion and Homebrew to Be Happy

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I got this message when trying to run my local rails server:

Installing rmagick (2.13.1) with native extensions

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.

Here is what I did:

1) Install XCode 4.4 into /Applications

Download or update your XCode 4.4 from the AppStore. If you have any previous XCode versions in you Developer folder, just delete them.

2) Install Command Line Tools

In XCode's Preferences > Downloads you can install command line tools.

3) Let Everyone Know Where XCode Is

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

4) Install X11

Download Quartz 2.7.2+, then install it

You will need to fix the symlink it makes:

ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11

5) Reinstall your imagemagick

brew install imagemagick

6) Symlink gcc

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

7) Bundle

cd your_app && bundle install

Point 6 should be changed to

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

as sudo su && whatever doesn't work.

It worked for me, however your implementation is cleaner.
I just made the correction.

Thank you! Made my life so much easier.

In my case i used:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2

Perfect, this helped tons, thanks. :)

Works great! Thank you.

Had same issues, and this solved it.
But I don't understand why the Quartz 2.7.2+ is needed for.

I am not upgrading but have a new iMac with Mountain Lion pre-installed. I want to install the ImageMagick extension. Two questions, will your 7-step setup work (since I'm not Reinstalling, first time Install) and do I need Step 4 (Install X11) since I see an X11 folder under directory /etc/X11

I have a brand new iMac and none of this worked. Finally found a manual install for imagemagick that did the trick. See https://coderwall.com/p/mwtoya?comment=Thanks.++After+fighting+for+hours%2C+this+was+the+solution

This is great. After days of searching, thissolved the problem. Thanks alot.
