Highline is not detecting the ffi-ncurses lib in Jruby

[JEG2]

I just fired up a fresh EC2 instance to check this out and it seems to be working fine for me.

jruby-1.4.0/bin/jruby -I highline/lib/ -rubygems -e 'require "highline"; p :loaded'

*** Using highline effectively in JRuby requires manually installing the ffi-ncurses gem.
*** jruby -S gem install ffi-ncurses
:loaded

jruby-1.4.0/bin/jruby -S gem install ffi-ncursesJRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support.

:loaded

Note that I did have to require RubyGems, since I installed ffi-ncurses as a gem. That made it possible for HighLine to load it. Perhaps that's what you missed.

Java::JavaLang::ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: An error occured while installing highline (1.6.9), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install highline -v '1.6.9' succeeds before bundling.

I am getting this error even though I tried using jruby 1.6.5

I'm not really sure what to try there. That's a Java error. I assume it happened as part of the install process. Given that, this is probably a better question for the JRuby team than it is for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.
