I am having some issues with RMagick.

When I start my Mongrel instance I get this error:

`gem_original_require’: no such file to load—RMagick

Rmagick is installed on the server and working.
I can execute the following from the command line:

ruby -rrubygems -e "require 'RMagick'; puts Magick::Long_version;"

Which returns: This is RMagick 2.3.0 ($Date: 2008/03/29 15:23:12 $) Copyright© 2008 by Timothy P. Hunter Built with ImageMagick 6.3.2 05/06/08 Q8 http://www.imagemagick.org Built for ruby 1.8.5 Web page: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org Email: rmagick@rubyforge.org

I had a similar experience when I upgraded the ImageMagick package on my server. You need to recompile RMagick if you do that.

Try “sudo gem install RMagick” even if it’s already there, it will at least force it to recompile.

What platform are you using?

Does it work in irb?

$ irb
 require 'rubygems'
=> false
require 'RMagick'
=> true
