Subject: Can't install RMagick on Windows XP

I'm trying to install RMagick for the first time on XP.
I get the error Can't exec \bin\sh, which seems like it's trying a *nix
install.

I have gems 0.8.11 (had 0.8.10 but did an update --system this morning)
I have installed other gems successfully

Here's the full dump from my command prompt:

========================================

[c:\ruby\ruby182\lib\ruby\gems\1.8]gem install RMagick
Attempting local installation of 'RMagick'
Local gem file not found: RMagick*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'RMagick'
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)

Can anyone help me?
