Create image, send to rails

Hi, I'm new to this language, so any help will be welcome.

I'm trying to create images at random, not a problem with this, and I can do
it on ruby alone saving the image to the filesystem and watching it later on
a viewer.

Buy when I try to use RoR, like creating the image on the fly, not saving it
to the filesystem, and presenting it on the browser.... well, i get
confused. All I can do so far, it's to show the image i have generated on
ruby before.

btw, i'm using RMagick to do the trick.

You can probably use send_data in your controller for this.

Thanks, that was helping, but as I was having troubles with rmagic and
windows, i decided to switch to linux

problem is, after i installed everything listed on
http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-linux.html, trought apt-get on debian,
once I try to run the gem, this is what I get:

*macaco@ig88:/devel/rtst$ sudo gem install rmagick -r
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install rmagick -r

Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.0.0 for
inspection.

Any help?

It seems that you don't have building tools, try installing ruby1.8-dev and
build-essential, libgraphicsmagick1-dev packages.

Thanks Juan Matias, but it was a little more trickier, had to download the
ImageMagick from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ because debian
gutsy only have the 6.2.4 version, but ruby works with 6.3

anyway, I have this in my controller:

class GenerateController < ApplicationController
  require 'RMagick'
  include Magick
  def index
  end

  def generate
    render :text => "<h1>hello world</h1><img src='/generate/img/1' />"
  end

  def img
    imgl = Magick::Image.new(100, 100) { self.background_color = 'red' }
    img.format = 'JPG'
    send_data(imgl.to_blob, {:type => 'image/jpeg', :disposition =>
'inline'})
  end

end

but I get this error in the browser:

   SystemStackError in GenerateController#img
stack level too deep

RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..
            Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full
Trace
/devel/rtst/app/controllers/generate_controller.rb:13:in `img'
