How install rmagick in windows XP with ruby 1.9.3 - windows

Question

Generally installation Ruby environment on Windows is BAD and STUPID idea!!!
Think well 1000 times before you do it!!!
My environment:
windows XP (x32)
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32]
DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx
ImageMagick-6.8.8-2-Q8-x64-static.exe
I'm using this manual: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit
I did more than 3 attempts to install it!
It's easier and better to buy new laptop or install Linux on your machine!!!
After 4 hours of pain and suffering I was fortunate to run 'bundle install' successful.
Incidentally, I recommend:
install ruby to C:/ruby193 ( not into 'Program Files' !!! )
install devkit to C:/DevKit ( not into 'Program Files' !!! )
I don't understand WTF is going on with this. And now I have new error :)
This is a magic problem with ImageMagik ( I think Satan himself wrote this program! )
Now I can't install rmagick, cause of some problem of ruby,devkit, ImageMagik or rmagik.
I see this error, when run:
gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2' -- '--with-opt-dir="C:\ImageMagick"'

cause when installing ImageMagik I forget to set one of checkboxses:
And now I see new error type in my terminal:

Wow!!! This is the some kind of comedy,
but I uninstall ImageMagick-6.8.8 and install ImageMagick-6.6.7.
C:\Documents and Settings\Bogdan>gem install rmagick -v '2.13.2' -- '--with-opt-dir="C:\ImageMagick"'
