How install rmagick in windows XP with ruby 1.9.3

Generally installation Ruby environment on Windows is BAD and STUPID idea!!! Think well 1000 times before you do it!!!

My environment:

  • windows XP (x32)
  • ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32]
  • DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx
  • ImageMagick-6.8.8-2-Q8-x64-static.exe

I'm using this manual: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

I did more than 3 attempts to install it! It's easier and better to buy new laptop or install Linux on your machine!!!

After 4 hours of pain and suffering I was fortunate to run 'bundle install' successful. Incidentally, I recommend:

  1. install ruby to C:/ruby193 ( not into 'Program Files' !!! )
  2. install devkit to C:/DevKit ( not into 'Program Files' !!! )

I don't understand WTF is going on with this. And now I have new error :) This is a magic problem with ImageMagik ( I think Satan himself wrote this program! ) Now I can't install rmagick, cause of some problem of ruby,devkit, ImageMagik or rmagik.

I see this error, when run:

gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2' -- '--with-opt-dir="C:\ImageMagick"'

After few hours I understood that, I face this problem, cause when installing ImageMagik I forget to set one of checkboxses:

And now I see new error type in my terminal:
