Hi,

I have just followed the instructions on installing the new version of  
RMagick on windows xp, with no error messages.

However whenever I attempt to start Mongrel I get the following error  
message

“The application has failed to start because CORE\_RL\_magick\_.dll was not  
found”

Any suggestions on how to fix this error?

Thanks,  
Scott

Anyone got any ideas?

did you install ImageMagick? CORE\_RL\_magick\_.dll seems to be part of it.

I think the RMagick install is supposed to also install the right  
version of ImageMagick. I’d guess it’s a path problem. Search for  
the file yourself. On win xp a path problem can sometimes be fixed  
with a reboot. Or just restarting all the apps. Just a guess.
