Hi,

I have installed RMagick following the steps on  
[http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html). I have XP.  
I am getting the error CORE\_RL\_magick\_.dll was not found. I even tried  
restarting the machine. But no help.  
Please Help.

Thanks
