Hi guys, im trying to install rmagick on windows but i have some problems with the post install, im using win2000, ruby 1.8.4 and rails 1.1, all working well. Then i downloaded RMagick-1.9.2-IM-6.2.4-6-win32.zip from http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/ extracted and do the gem install RMagick-win32-1.9.2-mswin32.gem , the gem was installed sucesfully but when i do the postinstall.rb i get the following errors: http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rmagickerror7ed.gif I searched around but i cant find a fix to this problem, any help will be very apreciated :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Don''t know about these errors, but what I can tell you is that ruby 1.8.4does not work with RMagick. You need to downgrade to 1.8.2.

I have had same frustration. I had to move my development to Linux for this same reason. If you don''t have access to Linux development machine then Microsoft Virtual Server 2003 would be good to get on your windows box. Again I am assuming that Linux is your deploy envionment. So to sum it up.. rmagick doesn''t work with Ruby 1.8.4 on windows. ajay Ana Barrueta wrote:> Hi guys, im trying to install rmagick on windows but i have some > problems with the post install, im using win2000, ruby 1.8.4 and rails > 1.1, all workOing well. > > Then i downloaded RMagick-1.9.2-IM-6.2.4-6-win32.zip from > http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/ extracted and do the gem install > RMagick-win32-1.9.2-mswin32.gem , the gem was installed sucesfully but > when i do the postinstall.rb i get the following errors: > > http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rmagickerror7ed.gif > > I searched around but i cant find a fix to this problem, any help will > be very apreciated :)-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
When I was intalling on OSX on my laptop I read somewhere that the rmagick gem is broken (at least on OSX) and so it was recommended that I build it from darwinports. On my desktop which is Debian Sarge I installed librmagick-ruby1.8. Can you not build it from sources on windows? You may have to install cygwin. -bakki On 5/26/06, AJAYA AGRAWALLA <r6dude@gmail.com> wrote:> I have had same frustration. I had to move my development to Linux for > this same reason.

If there is anybody who is having problems installing or using RMagick on OS X I wish they''d drop me a line at rmagick AT rubyforge DOT org so I can try to help. That''s not to say that you shouldn''t use the rmagick from darwinports if that''s what you want to do. I''m a big fan of darwinports myself. Sadly, I have heard from people who have tried to install RMagick from source on Cygwin but were not able to. We have not been able to figure out why. If there is anybody who has successfully installed RMagick on Cygwin (recently) please drop me a line and tell me what you did and what obstacles you encountered. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Normally the rmagick-win32 install is quick and painless. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Thanks for the ''heads up''. I also read, perhaps it was in either the ''Pick Axe'' book or the ''AWDWR'' book that RoR needed to be reinstalled in OSX. Since, I am going to purchase an Apple box shortly and I am using RoR currently on an XP laptop, it would be helpful to know if RoR comes with the Apple boxes and, if so, is it operational right out of the box...

Ruby comes preinstalled, but Apple''s installation of Ruby is slightly broken. There is a patch for it, but most people install a clean copy in a different location, and adjust their paths to give the new Ruby precedence over the old one. OSX doesn''t have Rails. If you want the quickest route to a Rails development setup on OSX, use Locomotive: http://locomotive.raaum.org/ For detailed instructions on installing Ruby and Rails etc. see: http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger regards Justin
