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 ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in

inspection.

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...

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

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
