So, I have rvm installed on my machine, and I type:
rvm install jruby
Everything looks good at first, but eventually I get:
jruby-1.5.6 - #fetching
jruby-1.5.6 - #extracted to /home/jenny/.rvm/src/jruby-1.5.6 (already extracted)
Building Nailgun
jruby-1.5.6 - #installing to /home/jenny/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.5.6
jruby-1.5.6 - #importing default gemsets (/home/jenny/.rvm/gemsets/)

I have absolutly no context for debugging this... I honestly have no idea what to do...
I'm on OpenSuse, and when I type "java -version", I get:
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)
I can't see any references to java requirements for JRuby, though...
As far as RVM, I'm running:
rvm 1.2.4 by Wayne E. Seguin ([email protected]) [http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]
I can install other rubies with RVM (1.9.2, 1.8.7, that sort of thing) with no problem, this is the first issue I've ever found.
It doesn't seem to matter WHICH jruby I install, either. My rvm knows about:
# JRuby
jruby-1.2.0
jruby-1.3.1
jruby-1.4.0
jruby[-1.5.6]
jruby-head
I don't even get the same errors for each one of them:
For 1.2.0, 1.3.1, 1.4.0 I get:
Fatal: GCJ (GNU Compiler for Java) is not supported by JRuby.
Where 1.5.6 and head get me the error I mentioned first.
I WANT to use JRuby with Rails 3, so I'm figuring I want the newest version I can get (which is having the exceptions)
Is there ANYTHING I can do, or am I just doomed to not be able to use RVM for my purposes?
EDIT:
I have confirmed that it's not just RVM, it is JRuby that is to blame. To test, I downloaded JRuby without rvm at all, through the website (I chose version 1.6). I unpacked it as per the instructions, and typed:
bin/jruby -v
in the extracted directory.
I got the exact same error:
jenny@linux-auvv:~/jruby-1.6.0.RC1> bin/jruby -v
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.jruby.Main
at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.9)

at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.9)
So, still have no clue what's going on, but at least I know now it's a jruby issue, and not an rvm one (though I still WANT it installed through rvm)
Edit:
So, I tried updating my OpenJDK, and it was no dice, but I found ANOTHER version of OpenJDK (that I didn't have installed) through YAST, and installed THAT one, and suddenly my manually installed jruby works just fine:
jenny@linux-auvv:~/jruby-1.6.0.RC1> bin/jruby -v
jruby 1.6.0.RC1 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 330) (2011-01-10 769f847) (OpenJDK Client VM 1.6.0_0) [linux-i386-java]
When I type java -version, I even get something different:
jenny@linux-auvv:~/jruby-1.6.0.RC1> java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.2) (suse-0.1.1-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
It even works in RVM, so hooray!
