Addressing common installation problems with RMagick - CORE_RL_magick.dll & RMagick.so

It seems that two potential areas for problems when installing RMagick are the CORE_RL_magick.dll (or other .dll) “not found” error and errors mentioning RMagick.so.
Having encountered the “CORE_DL_magick.dll not found” error while working on Datechest.com I know that there’s not a lot of information out there about how to fix it. A question on the RMagick rubyforge forums regarding it didn’t even result in an answer. However, the solution is simple and obvious (not to say that it didn’t take me about an hour to realize). Just reboot your development machine. That worked for me and I’ll bet it will work for you.
Apparently, according to this thread, that can work for errors with RMagick.so as well. I’d imagine if you’re installing RMagick on a Windows development machine rebooting after installing would solve or prevent a lot of problems.

Hi ExLabordiner,

Great tip!
I do not have enough funding from my federal loans to complete this school year. I’ve been told I can take my Spring semester in the Fall but that will put me behind in my nursing program. I have bad credit, and I don’t want to burden a family member with the responsibility of being a co-signer. Are there any legit Bad Credit Student Loan Consolidation Private Wells Fargo? When I search it, the results are insane and I know there aren’t that many lenders that will help with bad credit. I dont’ need a huge amount, maybe $4000 tops.
Dear Bryan, you just need to close the session and open it again, so that environment variables are loaded again.
