are you sure that ImageMagic binaries are in your *PATH*? Try **identify** command in console. — roman-roman, Feb 20 '13 at 08:13
just try to type **identify** in console and look if it finds the executable. **identidy** is one of the imagemagick commands — roman-roman, Feb 20 '13 at 09:18
I found solution and its worked http://rorashish.blogspot.in/2012/08/installing-rmagick-with-imagemagic-on.html?showComment=1361352867117#c6064848176479520219 — Gagan, Feb 20 '13 at 09:37
It may not be of use to you now, but when I had issues with RMagick on windows I found that [minimagick](https://github.com/minimagick/minimagick) was a thousand times easier! No dependency problems and easy to deploy on linux as well. — Matt, Mar 21 '13 at 13:47
@Gagan - If you're game to recap the solution as your own answer, I'll delete my answer. (See http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/90263/unanswered-question-answered-in-comments for elaboration of why this is helpful.) Thanks! — DreadPirateShawn, Oct 09 '13 at 16:28

~ answer per Gagan

See the link above for the full details, but the high-level steps (as of 2012 August 9) are:

Install Ghostscript
Install Imagemagick (use the 32-bit version, as the 64-bit is not working)
Restart the console/cmd prompt/IDE/... (or windows)
Install rmagick
