ImageMagick work on Windows 7/8 x64?

This post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1759 ... by-2-0-x64 seems to indicate the problem is on your end?

Is this the case?

I tried 32-bit and got exactly this error shown here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1986 ... all-failed (not my post).

FYI: When you run:

gem install rmagick

or

gem install rmagick -- '--with-opt-dir="e:\bogusdirectory"'

I get the same results as linked above.

Wouldn't you at the very minimum want to see an error message indicating that the directory does not exist? Maybe even exit at this point?

RMagick is not created by ImageMagick. The project page of RMagick (http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/) seems to be down but you should ask your question there.

Nevermind.

I have decided that the best course of action is to stay away from windows for ruby development!
