DAMN RMagick!

I've compiled and installed ImageMagick.

I've installed gems locally, updated rails & dipendences and *successfully* installed RMagick 1.14.1..

in my app/controller/application.rb I have

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'rmagick', '>= 1.14'

it seems to work but I can't use RMagick or I get error:

uninitialized constant Image

....

if I try to change the rubygem include to require_gem 'rmagick', '>= 1.14.2'

then I get a message like

RubyGem version error: rmagick(1.10.1 not >= 1.14.2)

so I SUPPOSE the system is loading the correct library..

my ENV:
[whopper]$ env
GEM_HOME=/home/etozzato/.gems

MAYBE NOT RAILS
