Ruby, Windows or Rmagick error?

Hi.

Well i´ve written a little program on my linux machine which uses
my_image = "20061002_122234_No_1.jpg"
Image.read(my_image)

This isn´t really complicated... and it works (at least on my linux machine).
On windows the beahvior ist really strange...
it t works with
my_image="test.jpg"
but with
my_image = "20061002_122234_No_1.jpg"
it doesn´t....
really strange is the error with different paths (relative, absolute, with "\\" or with "/"..)
All of them don´t work with the image and all of them produce a sort of file/directory not found. And in the error message it also writes down the file which couldn´t be found. And now the obscure part.
Depending of the part it writes 234_No_1.jpg or 61002_122234_No_1.jpg or something like 2234_No_1.jpg not found..

Sure it can´t be found. It´s not even the name of the image ... and the path is gone too ...
:frowning:

So is there a problem with ruby ? windows ? rmagick ?

I don´t know, otherwise i wouldn´t ask.
I guess there isn´t a "real" ruby problem, otherwise there would be a problem using linux too...
So is it rmagick ?
for the same reason there shouldn´t....
Leaves windows ....
But windows can handle such file names....

So there isn´t a problem at all ?

Since i have this problem there should be a problem in the windows version of ruby or rmagick or in the combination of all three....

Any ideas ?

Thanks

This happens when you install a version of ImageMagick that is not the version that comes bundled in the rmagick-win32 gem. RMagick for Windows is built to work with the version of ImageMagick that it's bundled with and no other. Uninstall ImageMagick and RMagick and re-install RMagick following the directions in the README file.
