Debugging with JRuby 1.4.0RC1?

[homerlex]

Using Netbeans 6.7.1 on Vista. Debugging works fine with JRuby 1.2.

I installed JRuby 1.4.0RC1. The app runs just fine but if I try to debug it fails trying to install the fast debugger. Error is shown below.

Has anyone gotten this working?

This blog might help: http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/installing_your_own_jruby_to

especially this part:
You will need the debugger gems. Follow the instructions on the NetBeans Ruby Debugger wiki page. Make sure you get the correct versions -- the ones noted on the wiki page. If you opted for a separate gems repository in the previous step, then add --install-dir your-repo-path to the gem install commands.

The above assumes that JRuby 1.4 is in your path

A note about the "native extensions" error messages. You will see these whenever you try to use native gems with JRuby. I explain this here: http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/using_gems_with_jruby.
