installed RMagick 2.13.1 on Windows with Ruby v1.9.x ERROR
I just installed RMagick 2.13.1 successfully on Windows with Ruby v1.9.x !
Let me spill out the procedure, before I forget.
- Install DevKit : https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit .
- Install ImageMagick 6.6.x with windows installer with headers.
NOTE:
-Do not install ImageMagick in a path which has spaces in it.
The default path C:/Program Files/... will not work.
Install it at a simpler path.
-- Remove any older installations of ImageMagick and RMagick -
Set the paths in Environment Variables:
set DFImageMagick environment variable to where ImageMagick is installed
set PATH=%DFImageMagick%;%PATH% (if you don't already have it in PATH)
set CPATH=%DFImageMagick%\include;%CPATH%
set LIBRARY_PATH=%DFImageMagick%\lib;%LIBRARY_PATH% -
Install RMagick gem : gem install rmagick
This should say, Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit... Building native extensions. This could take a while... After some time, Successfully installed rmagick 2.13.1 -
Verify installation:
A. convert -version
this should give the ImageMagick installation version
B. gem list --local should list rmagick 2.13.1
Alternative: in irb, try
require 'rmagick'
it should return 'true'
Oh, I do like installations which complete in 5 steps.
Hope this works for you and others.
