Rails - Dec 2005 - Installing Rmagick locally (file_column)

I''m trying to use the file_column plugin to upload and automatically 
resize images. The uploading part works really well, but the images dont 
get resized and the thumbnails dont get created. Rails doesn''t fail so
I
guess file_column is failing silently because Rmagick is not installed 
on my system?

This is the code in my model:

 file_column :image,
              :magick => { :geometry => "200x200>" },
              :versions => { "thumb" => "50x50",
"medium" => "100x100>"
}


When I try and install Rmagick via remote gem I get:

"Attempting remote install of ''rmagick''
Builidng native extensions. This could take a while ...
configure:1: Can''t exec bin/sh (fatal)
ERROR: While executing gem (RunTimeError)"

I already installed the prerequisit, Imagemagick.

Can anyone see any mistakes?

Many thanks, K.

An ammendment, Rails does fail with an error:

"No such file to load -- RMagick"

So I guess RMagick is not installed. How do I go about doing this if I 
can''t use gem to install it?
