rmagick4j is definitely incomplete, but sometimes it has enough for
individual use cases.

And FWIW, it just uses Java2D libraries shipped with every JDK/JVM, so
there shouldn't be any external dependencies (if I remember right).

Also of interest: rmagick almost installs and works now with JRuby's
new C extension support, thanks to Tim Felgentreff...though of course
the native library issues that prevent running on Windows are no
different for us. Native sux.

There are already opened issues under RMagick for 1.9.1 and Windows:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27765&group_id=12&atid=134
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6065&group_id=12&atid=134

I succeeded some time ago compiling RMagick to Ruby 1.9.1 by using
instructions at http://www.waydotnet.com/blog/2010/02/rmagick-on-ruby-1-9-1-i386-mingw32-work-d/

succeed too, with ruby 1.9.1p429, and last imagemagick
version(6.6.3-0-Q16). That was easy in fact (not mentioning the 1h30 my
computer take to install the rdoc ...)

I just followed the tuto on www.waydotnet.com, works fine. I made a gem,
but did not try on other version of ruby.

I'm not sure of that, but you should install imagemagick, and set
imagemagic in the path, with the imagemagic version used to build your
gem
