[Rails] Re: Carrierwave Is Not Loading RMagick

I thought I would update this for anyone who finds it in a search and
needs help getting this working.

I believe my problem stemmed from using Pik and having two versions of
Ruby installed. I'm not entirely sure about this but after removing it
everything worked after I reinstalled it all. Here was the process for
Windows Vista running Ruby192.

1. I first uninstalled everything. I uninstalled all versions of ruby/
gems, pik, and devkit. Restarted my PC.

2. I installed this version of Imagemagick into C:\ImageMagick-6.6.7-9-
Q16, I checked every option during the install except for telling it
to associate this program for file types or whatever:

http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.6.7-9-Q16-windows-dll.exe

3. Inside of c:\ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16\config I deleted the type-
ghostscript.xml file and replaced it with a windows version which I
downloaded at:

http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml

And I put that inside of c:\ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16\config.

4. Next I downloaded and installed Devkit:

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/downloads/

5. Then I installed the rmagick gem from the cmd command line I ran:

gem install rmagick --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-lib=C:
\ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16\lib --with-opt-include=C:\ImageMagick-6.6.7-
Q16\include

This installed the gem just fine. If it doesn't try closing and
reopening your command prompt.

6. I also called the rmagick gem from my gemfile:

gem 'carrierwave'
gem 'rmagick'

Some other problems I ran into was sqlite3 not working properly you
might need to download and extract both of these files into your
ruby191/bin folder:

I also had a problem with rake afterwards which I needed to update in
the command line:

gem install rake

Then everything worked fine.
