RMagick - very, very strange

I installed ImageMagick and RMagick on several platforms, including cygwin.
I didn't get any compilation errors, the gem installed smoothly, the tests
all pass, and I'm able to use it from my application without any problems
whatsoever. It works perfectly.

I've never had this happen before, and I'm unable to find any similar
reports despite hours of searching. What on earth did I do wrong?

Dear Jay,

I installed ImageMagick and RMagick on several platforms, including
cygwin.
I didn't get any compilation errors, the gem installed smoothly, the tests
all pass, and I'm able to use it from my application without any problems
whatsoever. It works perfectly.

I've never had this happen before, and I'm unable to find any similar
reports despite hours of searching. What on earth did I do wrong?

You didn't take notice that "good news is no news". Grave error. :slight_smile: I can confirm
your experience and would like to say 'thank you' to the developers
of Imagemagick and RMagick.

Best regards,
Axel

I, on the other hand, had errors that had to do with the way Fedora's
ImageMagick package was packaged, and assumptions RMagick made from that.
But everything else works :D.
