Q: 

problem installing ruby-debug-ide gem with jruby 1.4.0

Hello,

I tried to follow the UsingTheJRubyDebugger instructions on the jruby wiki. (kenai.com/projects/jruby/pages/UsingTheJRubyDebugger). I got an error trying to install the ruby-debug-ide gem.

jruby -S gem install --ignore-dependencies ruby-debug-ide JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support. http://jruby.kenai.com/pages/JRuby%5FBuiltin%5FOpenSSL Building native extensions. This could take a while... rake aborted! Don't know how to build task '2>&1'

(See full trace by running task with --trace) ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-ide: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I'm using Vista. Has anybody gotten this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hhh

A: 

JRuby does not support native extensions. A related stackoverflow question is here.

Second try:

There is bug report and a workaroud: set rake=jruby -S rake.

I am aware of that and the UsingTheJRubyDebugger wiki page has a workaround for that. A post in the jruby mailing list said to use the following, but I get the same result.jruby -J-Djruby.launch.inproc=false -S gem install --ignore-dependencies ruby-debug-ide JRuby tries to run Ruby code in the same JVM to avoid the startup hit,but the shell I/O redirection confuses it.

Sorry, now you have a perfectly useless answer. :-) I don't know if vista supports redirecting stderr to stdout this way. It did not complain.

The set rake workround worked!
