Rmagic windows binary?

ruby-talk

Is there a windows binary available for rmagic? The downlaods say to
use the gem, but:

c:\temp>gem install RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem
Attempting local installation of 'RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem'
Local gem file not found: RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem'
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem (> 0) in the
repository

Thanks

Hmmm, even with --remote option I get this:

To me, it means that the gem simply does not exist.

Hello Paul,

I am the maintainer of said 'gem' (it is not quite a gem, but a bit
more): The above looks as though rubygems is looking for the .gem the
wrong way: Even if the file RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem does exist in
local directory, a search for this "RMagick-win32-1.6.0-
mswin32.gem*.gem" will fail. You can try
  gem install rmagick
from the directory where the RMagick-win32-1.6.0-mswin32.gem file lives.

Tell me about your success or failure; if the above fails, I would like
to see a
  gem -v
and a
  dir
from the directory where you execute all of this.

best regards,
kaspar

Per Kaspar's instructions, I believe you should download the gem and then
run

gem install rmagick

from the directory where you d/l'd the gem.

Or even better, read the README and then continue from there :wink: (No 'newbie
bashing' here, Paul, just mentioning that 'gem install rmagick' is not all
you need to do...).

yours,
kaspar

btw: I am working on an update to that 'gem', since RMagick has a new
version out. I might finish it before the end of the year. Some bugs in the
postinstall have also been fixed.

would download and intall for me.

Ive done as you desribe it works perfectly

Thanks
