Getting RMagick to install on OS X can be a bit of a pain in the arse. Having failed with an attempt to install it through MacPorts, I came across this fabulous article over at http://macournoyer.wordpress.com
Great stuff mate, thanks!
Anyway, a few subtle additions/changes and I'm away with RMagick on Leopard.
If you want to install the same, follow the instructions in the article with these additions/changes:
1. curl -O ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
This gives a 503 error. Change it to:
curl -O http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
2. Before you do: sudo mv fonts/ /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/
You need to create the ghostscript directory:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/ghostscript
3. sudo gem install RMagick
This fails with: ERROR: could not find RMagick locally or in a repository
You need to do this:
sudo gem install rmagick
That's it. You should now have a working RMagick!

BIT of a pain in the ass? The process is more like visiting the 7 circles of hell. Thanks for the help though! All this for a fucking captcha??!
