Paperclip with PDFs

#ruby
#rails
#imagemagick
#paperclip

After getting Paperclip Error: NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError whenever uploading PDFs, I finally decided to look at the README, and sure enough:

brew install gs

As the docs said, I needed GhostScript to get PDF thumbnails to work.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention updating libtool?

brew update
brew install libtool --universal
