You might do better to grab the current code form the github repo.
There have been changes to jruby that broke how rawr was doing
compilation and such, making it explode. That’s fixed in trunk.
i installed rawr 1.4.0 and got the same error. maybe i should downgrade
to jruby
I hadn’t used rawr for a while because I had my own fork, and because I
was largely working on older code that used earlier jruby jars.
When I took over as rawr-meister I poked around a bit and the most
notable error was getting during code compilation. JRuby had changed
the naming of some classes/modules used to invoke the complier, which
broke rawr.
gioele’s fix for this should allow for compiling with both 1.4 and 1.5.
If the error you’re getting is relate to compilation, then there’s a
bug; you should have to drop to an older JRuby.
If the error is something else I don’t know if changing JRuby versions
will help (but I’d be interested to know if it does).
