Can’t install the latest mongrel (1.1.5) in JRuby (jruby revisions  
ranging from 6600 to 6750[trunk] checked) – the platform is not  
being identified and it’s trying to do native compilation.

I’m not sure it’s actually a problem with Mongrel or JRuby however –  
perhaps there isn’t a mongrel-1.1.5-java.gem on rubyforge?

Some investigation below:

$ jruby -S gem install mongrel  
JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full  
support.  
[http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby\_Builtin\_OpenSSL](http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL)  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/)  
Building native extensions. This could take a while…  
extconf.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load – mkmf (LoadError)  
from extconf.rb:1  
ERROR: Error installing mongrel:  
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Installing 1.1.4 works fine.

$ jruby -S gem install mongrel -v 1.1.4  
JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full  
support.  
[http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby\_Builtin\_OpenSSL](http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL)  
Successfully installed mongrel-1.1.4-java  
1 gem installed  
Installing ri documentation for mongrel-1.1.4-java…  
Installing RDoc documentation for mongrel-1.1.4-java…

Specifying the platform in the gem command does not help:

$ jruby -S gem install mongrel --platform java  
$ jruby -S gem install mongrel --platform jruby

same error.

I don’t see a tag for 1.1.5:

[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/tags](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/tags)

mongrel 1.1.4 is r985 and this is the only change in the Rakefile since  
then:

[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/changeset/997/trunk/Rakefile](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/changeset/997/trunk/Rakefile)

Don’t see how that would be a problem.

I’m not sure, but I think Evan is realising this now.
