in irb > require ''RMagick''. Boom irb crashes no messages, no stack. I have installed GraphicMagick 1.1.7 and can run it from the command line: ie > inspect.exe xx.gif. I have installed rmagick.1.10.1 and it shows up in my gemlist and the installed looks successfull. Running the rmagic test I get the following error > ruby -v -x inspect.rb xx.gif ruby: no Ruby script found in input (LoadError) I am running cygwin ruby 1.8.3 Any clues ? Thank you all !! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
