Does anyone have any experience getting RMagick up and running on a Media Temple (gs)? I''m still not sure if I need to build GraphicsMagick myself, and if so, how because I don''t have root access??? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

They have a gem which you can install and all works well, until you actually use it. RMagick is known to be very leaky and loading a single large image file (3mb) will bring down your container (I only have 64mb). There's a couple of alternatives, Image Science (http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/ImageScience.html) is built specifically because of this memory issue. Alas, it requires Free Image which is not a ruby program so there's no gem and it's also a pain to get going. I've put in for a feature request for Image Science to be installed. In the meantime, I'm just going to be shelling out and run mogrify (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php) -- Cheers, Serdar Kılıç http://weblog.kilic.net/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This is a bump for anyone using (gs) and any kind of image processing... I've yet to get a response from MT about whether or not image_science is available, but in the meantime I'm just using MiniMagick, which is running very well. Rick Olson's excellent attachment_fu has a processing backend for MiniMagick, so it's a simple switch to use that instead. Just install the MiniMagick gem on your (gs) account, set :processor => :MiniMagick, and off you go! MiniMagick basically wraps mogrify, so it should be much friendlier to memory than RMagick.
