Hi,

I have attempted to gem install rmagick: Being on windows I am  
informed that I must install rmagick-win32 gem

I have browsed the gems on Rubyforge and rmagick-win32 gem is not  
there.

Is there an alternative?

Aidy

The rmagick-win32 gem is bundled with a copy of the ImageMagick Windows  
installer in a zip file. You can find it here:  
[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=12](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12). Here’s the installation  
instructions: [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#win](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#win).
