Work around:

I have follow the below work around of my own, not sure it should be
recommended. but I can install the gem and it works fine for me.

  1. create a directory structure $JRUBY_HOME/lib/native/include

export JRUBY_OPTS=-Xcext.enabled=true

  1. installed ruby-19 locally , just to take the *.h files.

  2. create a soft link from $JRUBY_HOME/lib/native/include . i.e.

ln -s /home/khirod/ruby_19/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby ruby

  1. jruby -S gem install pry-nav
  2. jruby -S gem install pry-stack_explorer

Now I can use the debug syntax of pry-stack_explorer.

Please suggests if anybody have any better tricks and idea.
