I’m using paperclip to allow users to upload an “avatar” (pretty  
standard). The problem is, it works just fine in development, but when I  
deploy the app, it will only upload the original image to S3, but not  
the resized images. I’ve looked all over, and I suspect it may be a  
problem with rmagick (although, I’m not sure about that), I checked the  
list and rmagick is installed.

Has anyone else encountered this? or can someone point me to a possible  
solution? Does Aptana support rmagick and image magick, or do I have to  
do some configuring of some sort on the cloud where my app is deployed?

I figured out (or rather the helpful peeps at aptana helped me figure it  
out)

ENV[‘PATH’] has to be set to include /opt/local/bin (for some reason on  
aptana it doesn’t point to that by default). Once I set that everything  
worked.
