I’m having problems with rmagick: It works but is looking in the wrong  
directory.

My environment has the following lines:

1. require ‘rubygems’
2. require ‘RMagick’
3. include Magick

My controller has the following:

1. imagemagick\_for ‘/data/pictures/’
2. #my pics are in newspipe/data/pictures, where newspipe is my app

And in my view i use image\_magick with

1. \<%= imagemagick\_tag “pic32.jpg”, ‘resize(100x100)’ %\>

But the generated html has this for the above line:

![Pic32](http://localhost:3000/newspipe/imagemagick/pic32.jpg?commands=resize%28100x100%29)

Can anyone see what i’m doing wrong (or neglecting to do)?  
thanks
