Rmagick and ImageMagick Installation steps in Ubuntu

Hi to all,

After 1 to 2 hours struggling with the Rmagick and ImageMagick Installation in Ubuntu 8.10, i have found a simpler steps to do:

1) Install "imagemagick" through apt-get or synaptic manager.
2) Again Install "libmagick9-dev" through apt-get or synaptic manager.
3) Then, sudo gem install rmagick ( recent version will get install )

If you want a specific version of rmagick, then use this
sudo gem install rmagick -v 1.15.12

Note: rmagick 1.15.12 version is a stable gem.
