First example in rmagic documentation does not work

[Stephen Birch]

The example program from librmagic-ruby-doc which simply shows Cheetah.jpg does
not work. Even though Cheeyah.jpg is in the current working directory the
program throws the following exception:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/RMagick.rb:1378:in `read': unable to open image `jpg': No such
 file or directory: (Magick::ImageMagickError)

The program looks like this:

require 'RMagick'
include Magick
cat = ImageList.new('Cheetah.jpg')
cat.display
exit

This appears to be a bug in librmagick, since the same example does work in dapper.

Definitely a librmagick bug, see http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2028&group_id=12&atid=133

No fix has been released speficifally for this, but newer packages do work. It may have been a Debian-specific bug.

I've prepared an updated package for Breezy, available at http://tiber.tauware.de/~lucas/pkg/librmagick-ruby/

It builds and installs on Breezy, and fixes bugs 1299, 4636 and 26138. It is a new version of the library, but is unlikely to break anything since there was only additions to the API.

Also, the version currently in Breezy is severely broken, so I really think this is an interesting upgrade.

This updated package won't get into breezy-backports (See bug 39095). Marking this bug as Rejected. Feel free to use the package on my homepage as a workaround.
