Rails - Jan 2008 - attachment_fu and ImageScience - problem with RubyInline gem

Hi,

I am experiencing the following error when I configure attachment_fu
to use ImageScience.

I have downloaded and compiled FreeImage, and installed the
ImageScience (1.1.3) gem (which installs the  RubyInline gem 3.6.6).

Any advice or pointers to other help would be very much appreciated. I
have spent several hours trying to fix this with no success.

Thanks!

Gary and others,

I finally found the solution -- thanks to the great book "Ruby
Cookbook" -- and Image Science is now working perfectly :)

I was missing a Ruby library "ruby1.8-dev" (header files for compiling
extension modules for the Ruby 1.8). It can be easily installed
through your distro''s package manager tool or using:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev

Note I am running "ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [x86_64-
linux]"

RubyInline requires this package.

I hope this solves your problem too.
