Error installing ruby-filemagic
Aug 20, 2021
On macOS, tried to isntall ruby-filemagic
and ended up with this error
ERROR: Error installing ruby-filemagic:ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.*** ERROR: missing required library to compile this module*** extconf.rb failed ***
It turned out that I didn’t have necessary libraries install on my mac.
Running this command prior installing the gem fixed the issue.
brew install libmagic
Then
gem install ruby-filemagic
BOOM
