One of things you need to do to get Rmagick installed

apt-get install libmagick9-dev

When I try that I get the following errors

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libmagick9-dev: Depends: libjpeg62-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libbz2-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libtiff4-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libwmf-dev (>= 0.2.7-1) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libz-dev
                  Depends: libpng12-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libfreetype6-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libexif-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libdjvulibre-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: librsvg2-dev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libgraphviz-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I don't know what to do to fix this?

EDIT 1: I tried

sudo apt-get install librmagick-ruby

and it worked fine but then I needed to install the fleximage gem

gem1.8 install fleximage

and I got the following error message

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing fleximage:
