Hi!  
For a few days I am struggling with Fleximage.  
Current problem is:  
I want to show image, loaded in database. I want, but I cant.

In account model (acts\_as\_fleximage) there is a field image\_file\_data,  
images are stored there. (Images are good, I can see them with MySQL  
Query Builder)

I want to show picture in edit view.  
What is done:

In account\_controller there is a method:

def image  
@account = Account.find(params[:id])  
render\_flex\_image(@account)  
end

in account/edit view:

\<%= image\_tag url\_for(:action =\> ‘image’, :id =\> @account) %\>

In html we have: (2 is id, it’s right id:))

![2](https://www.ruby-forum.com/accounts/image/2)

But, in place i expect to see picture, i see number “2” in square.

What am I doing wrong, or missing?  
One bad thing: if in “image” method i use @account.has\_image?,  
in web server log i see that error:

script/server: No such file or directory - cl -nologo -LD -MD -Zi  
-O2b2xg- -G6 -I c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -I c:/ruby/include  
-Lc:/ruby/lib -o “C:\Documents and  
Settings\USER/.ruby\_inline/Inline\_ImageScience\_aa58.so” “C:/Documents  
and Settings/USER/.ruby\_inline/Inline\_ImageScience\_aa58.c” -lfreeimage  
-lstdc++ -link /LIBPATH:“c:/ruby/lib” /DEFAULTLIB:“msvcrt-ruby18.lib”  
/INCREMENTAL:no /EXPORT:Init\_Inline\_ImageScience\_aa58

Thank you for your answers!
