I installed ruby from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ with development kit and the latest version of ImageMagick. I tried to set rmagick configurations (lib and include directories) but I still get the same error

any help? any thoughts to solve the issue?

First of all clear your path environment variables. (This is the main step that people often skip, but very important). This is the main reason for the error you're facing.

Then install the rails installer (2.0.0) from here : http://railsinstaller.org/en

It'll set up ruby, rails, and everything else you need. This will also set up your environment path variables for you as well.

Next install imagemagick 6.7.9.9 or lower and while installing check the option to include C headers. Make sure you install it within the rails installer folder.

Then type this in your command prompt path=c:\RailsInstaller\ImageMagick-6.7.9-Q8;%path% or whatever version you have.

Then type 

gem install rmagick -- '--with-opt-dir="c:\RailsInstaller\ImageMagick-6.7.9-Q8"'

Finally edit C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.0.0\setup_environment.bat to include the path to ImageMagic

At line 25: SET PATH=c:\RailsInstaller\ImageMagick-6.7.9-Q8; or whatever version you have

I have the same problem, my environment was:

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 install rmagik gem successfully, after reinstalling of ImageMagick from v6.8.8 to 6.6.7. It was just a problem of incompatibility versions...

Prerequisites:
Ruby > 1.8.6
DevKit (any version)
No other ImageMagick installation or PATH entry

Step 1: Installing ImageMagick:

Download ImageMagick: http://imagemagick.spd.co.il/binaries/ImageMagick-6.8.0-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe

Install ImageMagick:
*Important: The installation path should NOT contain any spaces.
Ideally select “C:\ImageMagick″

Please make sure to select the below options:

Add application directory to your path system
Install development headers and libraries for C and C++

Step 2: Installing rmagick:

Use the following command to install rmagick gem:

gem install rmagick --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-lib=c:/ImageMagick/lib --with-opt-include=c:/ImageMagick/include

Use rmagick-win32 gem, and it doesn't need ImageMagick separately. This is bundled.

please have a look: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#win
