The rmagick dependencies are a challenge to install on Windows (and other
platforms as well).
You will need to visit the project page and review the full instructions
(which are quite extensive).

RMagick is probably the most difficult gem to install on Windows that
actually works on it.

Alternatively the JRuby gem rmagick4j uses a completely different native
library to do the rendering
activities (Batik I think). As a result, its installation process is
considerably easier.

C;\>jruby -S gem install rmagick4j

I don't know if there are any API level discrepancies between rmagick and
rmagick4j however.
