Kaspar Schiess, the RMagick Win32 guru, has confirmed that the beta
RMagick 1.10.1 win32 does indeed cause problems when used in a Rails
application with Ruby 1.8.4. Currently we believe this is due to an
incompatibility between the mingw32 compiler that Kaspar uses to compile
RMagick and the VC++ 6.0 compiler used to compile Ruby 1.8.4.
After consulting with Kaspar I have withdrawn the beta RMagick 1.10.1
win32 gem until we can work out a solution and make a new gem. Kaspar
regrets to say that due to time conflicts this will be no earlier than
the end of May. Until a new RMagick 1.10.1 Win32 gem is available the
RMagick 1.9.2 Win32 gem is still available, although that version is
only compatible with Ruby 1.8.2.
If you have any information about making VC++ 6.0 compatible binaries
with the mingw32 compiler please contact Kaspar directly at eule AT
space DOT ch.
I'll post any new information we have here and on RubyForge. Sorry, folks.
