ms-win32?, the pragprog doesn't create a /*mswin but /*msvcrt? or is a 
newer version? or is he using other windows binary?

I Installed the ruby-180-10, just to check it out and using the example.rb:
-----------------------------------------
require 'GD'
im=GD::Image.new(100,100)
white = im.colorAllocate(255,255,255)
black = im.colorAllocate(0,0,0)
red = im.colorAllocate(255,0,0)
blue = im.colorAllocate(0,0,255)
im.transparent(white)
im.interlace = true

# Put a black frame around the picture
im.rectangle(0,0,99,99,black)

# Draw a blue oval
im.arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,blue)

# And fill it with red
im.fill(50,50,red)

# Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
file=File.new("test.png","wb")
im.png(file)
-----------------------------------------
I get the test.png ok!, both with the mingw install and the 
mswin(pragprog), mmmh... is other mswin install, self compiled?

run the line *require 'GD'* does it gives an error by itself?
