I'm trying to deploy an app on OpsWorks, but there are problems with installing rmagick gem. I have the following OS packages:

libmagickwand-dev imagemagick libmagickcore-dev

Below is the log file with errors during deployment:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes
checking for gcc... yes
checking for Magick-config... no
Can't install RMagick 0.0.0. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
