I was just having problems getting mini_magick to work on a new dev environment (it installed fine but other gems that I was using that depended on mini_magick weren't working as expected), when I realised that it was because the mini_magick gem was installing fine without actually having ImageMagick installed on the system.

This might be a really dumb question, but shouldn't mini_magick check if one of the required libraries is present during the gem install and fail if not?

I'm using mini_magick 3.3. (Thanks!)
