Actually, it turns out I did. I had somehow managed to get Fink to install
6.1.8 development files but 6.2.8 executables (and libraries for both).
Once I removed the 6.1.8 libraries and development files and installed the
6.2.8, all it took was uninstalling and reinstalling the RMagick gem.

fink install imagemagick imagemagick-dev is the wrong one.) All is well
