Hi,
I’m trying to install the
RMagick 2.7.1 (ImageMagick 6.4.5-3) Win32 Installation
got here http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12&a … e_id=27880
I’m following the steps but can’t find the gem rmagick locally. I
exctracted the zip to D:\InstantRails\rMagick
and when I run update
gem update --system
Updating RubyGems
Nothing to update
it says that there is nothing to update.
I’m running a Windows XP with Ruby 1.8
What can I do?
Cheers
Adam

That command is just for updating rubygems itself. does
gem install rmagick
not work ?

Hi Fred,
if I type in
gem install rmagick
I get
uilding native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
D:/InstantRails/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install rmagick
This rmagick gem is for use only on Linux, BSD, OS X, and similar
systems.
Use the rmagick-win32 gem to install RMagick on Windows.
See http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html for more information.
*** extconf.rb failed ***

If I type in
gem install rmagick-win32
it says
ERROR: could not find gem rmagick-win32 locally or in a repository
I know that I need the windows version. I already downloaded it, but I
don’t know where to put the gem file to make ruby find it locally. I put
it to
D:\InstantRails\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rmagick-2.7.1-x86-mswin32.gem
hmm, no clue…
download the rmagick + imageMagick from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/46136/RMagick-2.7.1-ImageMagick-6.4.5-3-Q8.zip
extract it let say d:\rmagick
First install the imageMagick then go to command prompt into the same
directory
then type
d:\rmagick>gem install rmagick_file_name.gem
Thats it…
Regards
Abhishek

Ah the joys of windows. It doesn’t matter where you download the gem
to - it just needs to be in the current folder at the point that you
type
gem install file-name-of-gem
