What that gem appears to want to do is compile a C extension to support
the
gem. I don’t believe JRuby 1.5 or earlier has any support for
C-extensions
(since it’s Java), but you could just try to install the
restful_adhearsion
gem instead of the one you were trying:

PS C:\mydocs> jruby -S gem install restful_adhearsion
Fetching: json-1.5.1-java.gem (104960B)
Fetching: rest-client-1.6.1.gem (55296B)
Fetching: restful_adhearsion-0.1.3.gem (5120B)
Successfully installed json-1.5.1-java
Successfully installed rest-client-1.6.1
Successfully installed restful_adhearsion-0.1.3
3 gems installed
PS C:\mydocs>

Have you read these two posts?

You may also want to try out the experimental C extension support by
doing something like

git clone git://github.com/jruby/jruby.git
cd jruby
ant clean jar cext

…and then try your “gem install jsgoecke-restful_adhearsion” again to
see how things work.
