I can't seem to compile ironruby in ruby 1.8.7. I always get this error:
no such file to load -- windows/path
Does this mean that ironruby is not compatible with ruby 1.8.7?

A:
IronRuby itself does not require any ruby interpreter to be installed. So asking if it's compatible with MRI 1.8.7 is a bit of a misnomer. What this sounds like is that 1.8.7 does not include a library that the Rakefile uses.
As an aside, IronRuby does target 1.8.6 compatiblity.

Thanks for the clarification, I think rake does locate for a specific gem that is not available in Ruby 1.8.7. T_T

I would say that you need to install the gem pathname2 in your ruby 1.8.7 install.

A:
It looks like the gem windows-pr is required before the pathname2 stuff succeeds. I did a gem install windows-pr in my Ruby 1.8.7 install and then was successfully able to run rake --tasks in IronRuby (it previously failed with the same "no such file to load" error).
