Error installing gem using RMagick

Question

In the past, I used RMagick as well as Imagemagick, and recently I installed a new version of RMagick.

When I rebooted my rails server, I received errors. So I decided to remove the first imagemagick (from brew) and then remove rmagick.

I tried reinstalling rmagick and I have some problems (the first of which I cannot install from the bundle command). I tried gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1' , but I got the following permission error:

 ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES) Permission denied - /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper 

I also tried with sudo and got

 ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES) Permission denied - /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper usercomputer:~ Username$ sudo gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1' Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Results logged to /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/rmagick-2.13.1/ext/RMagick/gem_make.out 

Of course, I did something wrong along the way, but I'm not sure what?

Thank you for your answers.

It seems the latest version of ImageMagick is not compatible with RMagick. I solved the problem by doing the following:
