rmagick working in console but not in my app

hey all, When I do this in script/console I get:

require 'RMagick'

=> true

include Magick

=> Object

f = Image.new(100,100) { self.background_color = "red" }

=> 100x100 DirectClass 16-bit

f.crop_resized(50,50)

=> 50x50 DirectClass 16-bit

But in my application I keep getting the same error as if rmagick was not installed though it is and I can use it with irb. This is the error I get:

ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `crop_resized' for nil:NilClass) on line #7 of app/views/items/list.rhtm

I did put require 'RMagick' and include Magick in my application.rb but my rmagick install keeps getting ignored :confused: any idea what's wrong or where shall I put include Magick and require 'RMagick'?

thanx in advance
