Hi,

Mini-Magick breaking. I have installed mini-magick gem.

Here is my sample program

require ‘rubygems’  
gem ‘mini\_magick’  
include minimagick  
image = MiniMagick::Image.from\_file(’./fun.jpg’)  
image.resize “100x100”  
image.write(’./funthumb.jpg’)

Output:  
test.rb:3: undefined local variable or method `minimagick’ for  
main:Object (Name Error)

Anyone can help this out?

Thanks in Advance!!!
