Answer 1

1. sudo yum -y install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
2. convert -version Output:

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.10-68 Q16 x86_64 2021-02-03 https://imagemagick.org Copyright: © 1999-2019 ImageMagick Studio LLC License: https://imagemagick.org/script/license.php Features: Cipher DPC Modules OpenMP(3.1) Delegates (built-in): bzlib fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms ltdl lzma png ps tiff wmf x xml zlib 3. gem install rmagick if you still get the error follow below commands

1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/4.8.5/libgomp.spec /usr/lib64/libgomp.spec
2. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/4.8.5/libgomp.a /usr/lib64/libgomp.a
3. sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgomp.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/libgomp.so And run again gem install rmagick and its all done.
