Running ImageMagick on Windows and Linux under Rails

Rails
1

I am developing on a Windows machine and running in a Linux (i686-linux)
environment.

I am successfully running ImageMagick in Windows using the %x Ruby
command.

I asked my ISP if he had ImageMagick available to me and he wrote:

Hello Ralph,

It is just a perl module, so you would use the path /usr/bin/convert in
the config file for the setting

I really don’t understand my ISP’s answer.

When I run
puts %x[/usr/bin/convert]
The output in Mongrel reads
sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

I really don’t know much about Linux in the segregated cPanel
environment
I am running … so I ask the collected wisdom here: How do I run
/usr/bin/convert in my environment?

Well … issue resolved.

My ISP did not have ImageMagick installed correctly on his server.
Amazingly, I was doing everything correctly.
