I was going to say that you could probably add a symbolic link as well to try solving the problem. ln -s /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfont /folder/rmagick/wants/ I forget exactly what folder it looks for, I'll see if i can dig that up.

Thanks! ImageMagick & Rmagick have been nothing but problems, we've been very unimpressed with it. Still getting one error occasionally that pops up at times with "unable to read font `(null)'". Still haven't solved that one! Yep, –disable-openmp worked for me too. Thanks! ImageMagick & Rmagick have been nothing but problems, we’ve been very unimpressed with it.

Still getting one error occasionally that pops up at times with “unable to read font `(null)’”. Still haven’t solved that one!

I ran into this problem after a REALLY long compile install sequence yesterday, and it turned out that all I needed was this during the configuration: --disable-openmp You totally saved my day.
