Hai,

This is the first time I am trying RMagick.

I have a little problem when trying to create a small and simple  
application involving RMagick.  
I have installed RMagick and also ImageMagick.  
The RMagick I have installed through gem install RMagick.  
and the Imagick I have installed through the downloaded .exe file.

In the rails IDE, the way I have implemented it is

require ‘RMagick’  
include Magick

**_class CaptchaController \< ApplicationController_**

def sample\_testing\_captcha  
cat = ImageList.new(“images/logo.JPEG”)  
end

end

I am getting the error like

**_unable to open image `images/logo.JPEG’: No such file or directory_**

RAILS\_ROOT: ./script/…/config/…  
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.14.1-win32/lib/RMagick.rb:1659:in  
`read' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.14.1-win32/lib/RMagick.rb:1659:in`initialize’

-e:4:in `load’  
-e:4

I am unable to find where exactly the problem is …

Can some body help me???

THNX in advance
