Unable to install 4.1.0 under JRuby 1.1.4 [ reply ]

I understand that 4.1.0 is supposed to be JRuby compatible, but everytime I try to install it using the command "/opt/jruby-1.1.4/bin/jruby -S gem install RedCloth", I receive :

/opt/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/mkmf.rb:7: JRuby does not support native extensions. Check wiki.jruby.org for alternatives. (NotImplementedError)
from /opt/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/mkmf.rb:1:in `require'
from extconf.rb:1
ERROR: Error installing RedCloth:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/opt/jruby-1.1.4/bin/jruby extconf.rb install RedCloth

It appears that the 4.1.0 may support JRuby, but still has some requires that don't properly identify JRuby instead of Ruby.
