The problem is not with ruby, but with the complexity of the .jpeg  
format. RMagick has done all the hard work, but it depends on  
installing ImageMagick. I use RMagick regularly, and installing  
ImageMagick took a couple of false starts (I use both OSX and Ubuntu),  
but in the end I got all the dependencies right. Then, RMagick "just  
works." So, install ImageMagick and RMagick and impress your mates.

Or, learn to take apart the .jpeg from scratch.
