Hi Kris, The only (and I really mean only) way I've ever gotten consitant success to via Macports. I do the following:
sudo port selfupdate sudo port install ruby sudo port install rb-rubygems sudo port install graphicsmagick # like imagemagick, but newer and with less suck #Gems via Ruby gems sudo gem install rmagick Note that if you move to macports Ruby from the OS X distrubuted Ruby, you get to reinstall all your gems... but frankly I feel like its worth it.
