The problem is in the currently latest version of mini_magick (3.6.0) gem. See the issue here: https://github.com/minimagick/minimagick/issues/145
To install Watir now, install previous version of mini_magick first and then watir: gem install mini_magick -v 3.5.0 gem install watir Jarmo Pertman ----- IT does really matter - http://itreallymatters.net On Friday, September 13, 2013 2:21:11 AM UTC+3, gato...@gmail.com wrote: > > I had the following error message occur after attempting the latest Watir > installation.
