Hee people (again today :P) …

So I want to use RMagick but it doesn’t work …  
I installed it as told in the FAQ of the site of RMagick  
([http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html))

1. sudo port install tiff -macosx imagemagick +q8 +gs +wmf
2. sudo gem install rmagick

I didn’t get any problems or warning !..

so when I try to run my verry complicated program:

require ‘RMagick’

I get the following error: no such file to load – RMagick

So I googled (of course)… but spelling it different doesn’t help. I  
tried:  
Rmagick  
rMagick  
RMagick  
rmagick

And when I do in the console:  
$ irb

> > require ‘rmagick’  
> > =\> true

This seams to work ! … (so it is installed)

There are a lot of people with these problems on the net… but they  
didn’t give me a solution  
thanxs !

Try:

require “rubygems”  
require “RMagick”
