if on linux, you may need to install imagemagick or graphicsmagick  
first.  
On windows too.

Posting what it outputs on your screen might help people know how to  
better help you 🙂

Make sure imagemagick (or whatever) is working: Run some command line  
‘convert’ commands and look at the results. The Image Magick web  
site has full instructions.

Then write a small ruby script that does the same thing, but through  
ruby and RMagick.

On Linux, you might need to do ‘sudo install…’ But if you’re  
running on windows, the instructions are different, and you don’t  
install imagemagick separately, you install it the way they tell you  
to.

I’ve found that this simple multi-step process isolates installation  
bugs.
