I had a simular problem when I installed RMagick on solaris.

The problem was that the gem install didn’t show a real error but the  
install wasn’t completed.  
(I forgot to include the path to make cmd in my $PATH)

So verify that you have a RMagick.so and have a look at  
\<your\_gemdir\>/rmagic-xx.xx/gem\_make\_out
