Solved this:

What I got  
require ‘rubygems’ =\> true  
require ‘RMagick’ results in  
This application has failed to start because CORE\_RL\_magick\_.dll was  
not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

It actually came down to the fact that I didn’t install the DLL files  
(I guess I didn’t read the installation file properly). DLL are  
installed and it works now.

Thanks  
Stijn
