Hello Railslist, I''m trying to get Gruff running on OSX Tiger (intel) with edge Rails. I''ve installed ImageMagick, Rmagick, FreeType and all their dependencies, or so I believe. (I''ve compiled them from source mostly, following a recent tutorial for Rails and ImageMagick on Intel Macs) While following the sample on the Gruff downloadpage (the one with the fruit), Rails throws a RuntimeError: "Can''t measure text. Are the fonts installed? Is the FreeType library installed?" What do I need to do to fix this error? Thanks in advance! Gijs Nijholt Amsterdam, The Netherlands
By the way, the tutorial I mentioned is: http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/06/10/rmagick_os_x But in http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/gruff/lib/gruff/base.rb, I read the following: # RMagick must be built with the Freetype libraries for this to work properly. In this other tutorial (http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html), the DarwinPorts FreeType library is preferred over the X11 version, could this be the cause of my error? Thanks..

ok, the solution is to install GhostScript (sudo port install ghostscript) On 8/9/06, Gijs Nijholt <gijs.nijholt@gmail.com> wrote:> By the way, the tutorial I mentioned is: > http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/06/10/rmagick_os_x > > But in http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/gruff/lib/gruff/base.rb, I read > the following: > # RMagick must be built with the Freetype libraries for this to work properly. > > In this other tutorial > (http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html), the DarwinPorts > FreeType library is preferred over the X11 version, could this be the > cause of my error? > > Thanks.. > Gijs > > On 8/9/06, Gijs Nijholt <gijs.nijholt@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Railslist, > > > > I''m trying to get Gruff running on OSX Tiger (intel) with edge Rails. > > I''ve installed ImageMagick, Rmagick, FreeType and all their > > dependencies, or so I believe.
