Rails - Oct 2006 - RMagick as a local gem on Dreamhost

As DH refused to install new version of RMagick gem "globally" I had
to install it locally. Here my install details:

Local gems installed in:
/home/user/.gems
/home/user/.gems/gems/rmagick-1.14.0

Local libs installed in:
/home/user/lib

My app located in:
/home/user/apps/tptest/current

On top of my config/enviroment.rb:
ENV[''GEM_PATH''] =
''/home/user/.gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8''
ENV[''GEM_HOME''] = ''/home/user/.gems''

My .bashrc and .bash_profile:

# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.

umask 002
PS1=''[\h]$ ''

export PATH=/home/user/bin:$PATH
export GEM_PATH=/home/user/.gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export GEM_HOME=/home/user/.gems

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lib

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

export PATH=/home/user/bin:$PATH
export GEM_PATH=/home/user/.gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export GEM_HOME=/home/user/.gems

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lib


-------

When I run my scripts from console the local version gets loaded:

[jurupa]$ ruby script/console
>> require_gem ''rmagick''
=> true
>> require ''RMagick''
=> true
>> Magick::Long_version
=> "This is RMagick 1.14.0 ($Date: 2006/09/27 21:26:35 $) Copyright
(C) 2006 by Timothy P. Hunter\nBuilt with ImageMagick 6.2.9 10/03/06
Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org\nBuilt for ruby 1.8.2 (2005-04-11)
[i386-linux]\nWeb page: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org\nEmail:
rmagick-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw@public.gmane.org\n"

------

When I run it "live" from web I get the following exception:
RMagick.rb:28: uninitialized constant Magick::Enum (NameError)

Browsing the web reveals that it should be a problem of:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

That is why I use:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lib
in .bashrc

AND

PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in .htaccess



Still no luck. Are there any other issues I''m missing? It seems like
FastCGI is not "using" the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH... HELP!

Hi Wiktor,

A late reply I know, but I have come across the exact same problem with 
my hosting company as well.  I also installed ImageMagick locally and 
RMagick as a local gem.  I can get RMagick loaded without problem in my 
./script/console but it will not load via Apache/FastCGI.

I got the same message you got once while playing around with several 
things (think it may have been when I was playing around with 
"require_gem ''RMagick''").  But I took it down to a
simple "require
''RMagick''" in my environment.rb and get:

libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory - /home/myusername/gems/gems/rmagick-1.14.1/lib/RMagick.so

I also echoed out LD_LIBRARY_PATH after the load failure and it was set 
to the correct path, so I think you are on the right track with the 
theory that FastCGI is getting a different value for LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 
some bizaar reason.

I hope someone who has seen (and hopefully solved) this problem will 
spot this thread and give us a hand because I have been going around in 
circles on this issue for almost a week.  My hosting company said they 
would install RMagick system wide but it has been quiet on that front 
for several days now so I am not sure if they will.  Anyway I would like 
to see the solution to this because there will not doubt be a call to 
load up another gem at a later date that uses an external .so library.

Cheers, and let me know if you make any new discoveries - I will be sure 
to post here if I do.

Chad.
