Subject: Re: Testing Rails: problem running a Gruff sample

Hi Raj.


> You need to have RMagick installed and configured.

I didn't get a response in the first day after my post,  so I thought the 
Gruff wasn't of much interest to folks on this NG.  I emailed Geoffrey 
Grosenbach, the Gruff developer, directly and he was kind enough to tell me 
the same thing,  but he concluded "(I need to put together a simple 
RMagick-only script for testing as well.)".

So your detailed guidance on how to install RMagick was very timely, 
indeed -- and excellent!

> gem -install RMagick-win32-1.9.2-mswin32.gem

Just in case you post your instructions to some other poor soul, please note 
that there's a hyphen in front of 'install'.

My "Code Sample" from http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com/pages/gruff worked 
fine: it created a .png file in the same directory as the .rbw source file.

But another sample from http://topfunky.net/svn/gruff/test/area_test.rb 
didn't seem to work.  I noted it didn't include the "require 'rubygems'" 
that the preceding sample did,  but including it didn't seem to make any 
difference.  If you have any take on this,  I'd appreciate hearing your 
advice.

> Hope that helps.

It certainly did.  Thank you very much for taking the time to post it.

Best wishes,
Richard
