NArray install problems on 1.7.6

Ruby JRuby

Using rvm 1.23.14 (master).
Tried a ‘gem install narray’ and go the following output.

Is there a way to fix it from the error messages?

jzakiya@new-host-3 ~ $ gem install narray

Hi,

I think JRuby does not support native C integration. You could try to
use
MDArray, which is similar to NArray, but targets specifically JRuby.

That’s right, C extension support was experimental and is deprecated and
off by default . C libraries can be integrated via the FFI api, but
usually
the best option is to find a native java library, or gem that either
wraps
one or is written in pure ruby. MDArray is probably a good choice.
