Re: [jruby-user] Re: How do I add something to the classpath in a JRuby on Rails app?

That looks a little strange to me...the CLASSPATH is intended to contain 
jar files or directories that contain Java code, not system executables.

And when you say it doesn't work, what do you mean exactly? Do you get 
an error message, and if so, can you post it?
