My link is to a precompiled binary version of the gem, built for 1.8.6
- RMagick2 itself should work with 1.9, if you build it properly.
There are similar prebuilt ones for Ruby 1.8.5 and some others, but
unfortunately none for 1.9.x, and I think building RMagick yourself on
Windows is quite a hassle (I've never really tried it though - it
didn't work at the first time, so I stuck to 1.8.6 when I need to use
it).
