Hi Roger, Yes, this is a bug, and of my least favorite kind: it involves Windows, JRuby’s ShellLauncher and shell redirection, all in one bundle. 🙂 Please file it in JIRA.

It’s basically gem\_prelude for 1.8 – perhaps with jruby’s magic they could let us get the benefits of gem\_prelude for both 🙂 -r ---

Roger, As a workaround, type the following before starting the installation process: set rake=jruby -S rake That would allow to install the gem. Btw, this faster\_rubygems approach is interesting, and it reduces the gem loading in JRuby case quite significantly. Thanks, –Vladimir On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 12:04 PM, Vladimir S.

The root problem has been fixed on JRuby’s master branch, so the workaround is only needed for JRuby 1.4. With the latest development version everything sshould work as-is with no tweaks.
