Issue with scruffy and Rmagick

ruby-talk
1

Hi

I'm trying to create a graph with scruffy but my problem begin with
this part of the code:

graph.render :width => 300, :height => 200,
      :to => "x.png", :as => 'png'

the thing is that ruby needs the gem Rmagick to execute that code
and I tried to install the gem: gem install rmagick but it fails in
building
the native extensions...

I'm running this application in windows and i have installed the
devkit, with the devkit i successfully installed other gems that
also displayed that error but i can't install this one...

Someone knows a solution for this?

Or there is a way to display the graph without the need of creating
a img file?

To compile Rmagick on Windows has been mentioned on stackoverflow,
RubyInstaller and several places on the internet.

Yes, use something else like Google Graph API or something like that.

There are also prebuilt binaries available for 1.8.x versions. See
