sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-devI can imagine there may be issues with other languages too, it seems like Jaunty replaces/upgrades some ImageMagick libraries, so you'll have to patch it up after you upgrade.
sudo gem uninstall rmagick
sudo gem install rmagick --no-ri --no-rdoc
UPDATE(Apr. 27, 2010): The latest version of RMagick does not work with the most recent version of Imagemagick in the Ubuntu repository. To install the version of RMagick that does work, you need to use version 2.11:
sudo gem install rmagick --no-ri --no-rdoc --version=2.11

thank you!!
this post saved me some headache! thanks again
Woot! Thanks!
Hmm, still having headaches over here. After doing the above, i get:
sudo irb -rubygems -r RMagick
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/RMagick.so: libMagick.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/RMagick.so (LoadError)

gil: did the "sudo gem install rmagick" part give you any errors? If there were build errors then the gem would not have been installed properly.
Also are you using the rubygems package from the Ubuntu repositories? Last I checked it is old and doesn't work right, you're better off uninstalling it and installing it from the Ruby website.
We solved this by installing rmagick from source; that did the trick. The install of the gem didn't give us an error, but yes, we were using rubygems from ubuntu repositories.
Note that on another ubuntu upgrade (all the way from 7.10 to 9.04) the posted steps worked perfectly.
gil: Ahh, yes, this fix here is for Jaunty (9.04). ImageMagick worked differently on previous version of Ubuntu.
Also, I might point that you should install 2.11 cause 2.12 can't compile.
@mexpolk: I just tried updating, it works fine. However I got rmagick-2.12.1, maybe they realized that they shipped a non-working version and fixed it right away.
After testing with -v=2.12 it does indeed give a compile error, but it looks to me like they fixed the issue.
