Team,

I just installed RMagic under Windows to learn it. The installation went  
OK:

C:$user\downloads\ruby\RMagick-2.0.0-ImageMagick-6.3.7-8-Q8\>gem install  
rmagic  
Successfully installed rmagick-2.0.0-mswin32  
1 gem installed

I then proceeded to write a one line ruby pgm to test if I could invoke  
it.  
The only line in the pgm is: _require ‘RMagic’_  
When I try to run it I get the following error:

_C:$user\ruby\Programs\DejaVou\>ruby magia01.rb  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
 `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- RMagic (LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’  
from magia01.rb:1_

C:$user\downloads\ruby\RMagick-2.0.0-ImageMagick-6.3.7-8-Q8\>gem -v  
0.9.5

C:$user\downloads\ruby\RMagick-2.0.0-ImageMagick-6.3.7-8-Q8\>ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32]

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Victor

That was it.  
Sorry for the silliness of my question.

Thank you for your help.
