The *90.dll provided with the ImageMagick ImageMagick-6.4.8-6-Q8 release seems to have the wrong versions.

You have to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package to fix the problem.

Thank you so much for your quick response.

You are correct, the older version you've provided works splendidly, problem solved.

You also guessed correctly that I used the one-click Ruby 1.8.6 installer.

Thanks again, and thanks for posting the exact link thereby making it that much easier for me :)

Ari, I replied to your earlier email. For future readers, here's what I said:

The RMagick 2.9.0 Win32 gem was compiled with VC++ 2008 to be compatible with ImageMagick 6.4.8. I would've assumed that installing ImageMagick also installs all the MS dlls that you need, but apparently not. I'm not sure how to resolve the problem for 1.8.6 since the Ruby 1.8.6 one-click installer was compiled with yet a 3rd compiler.

I assume that you used the Ruby 1.8.6 one-click installer to install Ruby. I've re-enabled the RMagick 2.7.1 Win32 gem on RubyForge. That release was compiled with VC++ 2005 and has been d/l'd 4500 times without complaint. I expect it will work normally for you.

Please try uninstalling both the RMagick 2.9.0 gem and ImageMagick 6.4.8, then d/l and install ImageMagick 6.4.5 and RMagick 2.7.1 from this file: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/46136/RMagick-2.7.1-ImageMagick-6.4.5-3-Q8.zip.

rmagick-win32 v2.9.0 not working [ reply ]

I did a clean install of rmagick-win32 version 2.9.0 on Vista, and the ImageMagick portion installed fine (convert command works at command line) and the local rmagick gem appears to install ok too, it's listed in the gems, but using it has a problem.

When I try:

require 'RMagick'
include Magick

I get this error:

"R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling many times with fresh command windows each time. Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks
