RMagick not working

Rails
1

Hello,

On Windows XP, I got a ruby program using RMagick and working perfectly.
I put this at the begining of my code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'
include 'Magick'

Now, when I use the exact same code within Rails, I can’t have RMagick
working… It seems it’s not initalizing. The include ‘Magick’ returns
“undefined method `include’” Without the include, I got a “dynamic
constant assignment” when I use an Image or ImageList.

I tried also to remove require’rubygems’ which I think should not be
necessary in Rails.

I know there’s been tons of post regarding RMagick installation before,
but what puzzles me is it seems to be correctly installed… For
instance, it does appear when doing a gem list…

Any idea?

In my app, I simply have require ‘RMagick’

I create new objects like so: Magick::Image.new

I think preceding Image.new is necessary because the class that I am
calling from is named “Image” anyway? I’m not sure. Anyway, that works
for me.

I’m not sure why it’d be giving you the “undefined method ‘include’” but
the
proper include is:

include Magick

without the quotes. It’s not including a file but in fact telling Rails
to
mixin the methods of the module Magick [in the RMagick library]. I’d
recommend mixing these methods in only in whatever specific class you
plan
on implementing RMagick in.

Also, I tried out the quotes around Magick in the include and got a
different error than the one you’re talking about. I got “wrong argument
type String (expected Module) (TypeError)”, which makes sense because of
the
reason I said above.

Hope all that helped.

Oops, actually, I put

require ‘RMagick’
include Magick

(without the quotes) in my code, already…
