JRuby 1.3.0 not working

I installed JRuby 1.3.0 but when I tried to run “gem” I got the following error message:

One thought on “JRuby 1.3.0 not working

  1. hi

    0. try the new 1.3.1 release (bugfix)
    1. add C:\ruby\jruby-1.3.0\bin to your Path environment variable at system settings
    2. install gems by rissuing ‘jruby -S gem install {gemname}’ from anywhere; the -S flag ensures that command will be executed at the jruby exec path

    good luck!
