        let's undo some of the damage (just in case):

sudo apt-get remove --purge librmagick-ruby-doc librmagick-ruby1.8


Next let's get the version we need:

sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev ruby1.8-dev


Lastly, go grab rmagick, the gem

sudo gem install rmagick

I also had to do this to install the command-line tools, used by paperclip and some other gems: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
