Subject: Re: Can't install RMagick on Windows XP

Okay, solved it myself by not using the normal remote gem install.
Instead, I went to the RMagick website and downloaded the binary gem
install for windows.
    http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=3031

I extracted the zip to a temp directory and followed the instructions
in README.html.

To summarize those instructions:
use gem install locally by specifying the gem file by cd'ing to the
extracted directory and typing:

   gem install RMagick-win32-1.9.2-mswin32.gem

then run the postinstall command in that same directory:

   ruby postinstall.rb

and that's it!
