win32ole gem for jruby

Question

Hi jruby mavens,
I'm trying to install jruby gem from http://github.com/bpmcd/win32ole .
it seems that standard

jruby -S gem install win32ole

doesn't work.

I'm ruby noobie, and so far I understand that this package is not a gem? Am I correct? Do I need to build it? If yes, could you direct me to the docs that explain how to proceed step by step?

Thanks plenty

I am working on a much more feature complete version of win32ole right now: http://www.github.com/enebo/jrwin32ole.

It is a work in progress but it does much more than the repo you are having issues with. Some form of this new repo will actually be in JRuby 1.6 when it comes out as well, so you can help us get it into shape if you like.
