Probably by installing an ImageMagick fork. From a superficial
eyeballing of GraphicsMagick (which tells me it was forked off of
ImageMagick 5.5.2), you get the issue that RMagick cannot use the DLL
provided by your installation of GMagick. (Oh the joyful world of forks..)

Anyway, to solve your question / issue:

The RMagick FAQ says to use the mswin32 gem (which, at least the last
time I had it installed, sort-of breaks RubyGems, but I'm too lazy to
file a bug, let alone find out if it is one), which comes with a bundled
ImageMagick that you have to use.

The FAQ:

You can grab the Gem / ImageMagick version from
