For anybody reading this thread in the future, this is what the README.html file is trying to explain with these sentences: Installing the gem is very simple. Start a Command Prompt window. Use the chdir command to make the temporary directory that contains the unzipped files the current directory. Enter this command: * gem install rmagick --local Perhaps I should try to reword it to make it more clear. By: Adam Meyer RE: ERROR: could not find gem rmagick locally [ reply ]   2008-11-17 17:18 Yes, this was the way I tried. Exactly the instructions from the install file in the zip. I got help from ruby-forum.org -------------------------------------------------- download the rmagick + imageMagick from http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/46136/RMagick-2.7.1-ImageMagick-6.4.5-3-Q8.zip extract it let say d:\rmagick First install the imageMagick then go to command prompt into the same directory then type d:\rmagick>gem install rmagick_file_name.gem Thats it.... ------------------------------------------------ Now it works. Thx By: Tim Hunter RE: ERROR: could not find gem rmagick locally [ reply ]   2008-11-17 12:36 Did you install ImageMagick and RMagick using the instructions in the README.html file that is in the zip file? By: Adam Meyer ERROR: could not find gem rmagick locally or [ reply ]   2008-11-17 07:27 Hi, I'm trying to install the RMagick 2.7.1 (ImageMagick 6.4.5-3) Win32 Installation got here http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12&a … e_id=27880 I'm following the steps but can't find the gem rmagick locally.
