Hello, I am new to rails but have been having fun so far. Until now.
I
am sure this is just my inexperience but I have the RMagick gem (ruby
gem
for using imagemagick manipulation) installed on my machine that I
would
like to then use in my rails app. I first installed it and tried it
out,
and it didnt do anything for me, took me a while to realize I needed
the
windows RUBYOPT rubygems environment variable set. After that, I
could
finally call stuff like:
ruby myLittleTestProg.rb
which used a
require ‘RMagick’
and it would run fine.
So I think, I tested my little script out, I want to do it on rails
and
call it from my web app. I build a skeleton web app, and goto the
config/environment.rb file and say:
require ‘RMagick’
adding this line, kills the skeleton app, what ran fine with webrick
now
gives me a strange error that I wll post here. (and yes after
changing the
environment.rb file I did relaunch the server). I installed the
flickr
gem as well, and this runs fine, I can easily say in the
environment.rbfile:
require ‘flickr’
and it works, it is just when I require ‘RMagick’ from that
environment.rbfile in my rails app it crashes with this error in the
index.rhtml:
I am looking for any suggestions, cause I am totally lost. Not sure
why
the RMagick include runs fine when I just use it from a ruby .rb file,
but
when I try to require it from my rails app, it doesnt work…this is
locally
using WEBrick (i tried my rails host online, and it seems that the
require
RMagick works there, I just need to get it working locally for
development
and testing purposes…)
Thanks for anyone with any help or suggestions…

error is as follows when require ‘RMagick’ is added to environment.rb
of a
skeleton rails app:
