Rails fails in JRuby out of box on Mac OS X (with Stack Trace)
My first attempts at running a new Rails application on JRuby is completely failing. Through the process of elimination, I have traced the source of the problem down to the asset pipeline in Rails 3.2. Though I do not know how to fix this:
stat.st_gid unsupported or native support failed to load
org/jruby/RubyFileStat.java:432:in `gid'
This is on October 20, 2012. Using jruby 1.6.7 and Rails 3.2.8 out of the box with the gems as published on this date.
Here are the steps to reproduce - again, no custom code on my part.
Using Mac OS X Mountain Lion, I installed the following:

Add the following alias to your .bashrc file to be able to run the "nokofix" command in a project while running bundler. This assumes that libiconv was installed using brew.
alias nokofix="gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.8 --with-xslt-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.26 --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1/ && bundle config build.nokogiri – –with-xml2-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.8 –with-xslt-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.26 –with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1/"
update pg_database set datallowconn = TRUE where datname = 'template0';
\c template0
update pg_database set datistemplate = FALSE where datname = 'template1';
drop database template1;
create database template1 with template = template0 encoding = 'UTF8';
update pg_database set datistemplate = TRUE where datname = 'template1';
\c template1
update pg_database set datallowconn = FALSE where datname = 'template0';

Have a shell script always run with a nice, low priority
#!/usr/bin/nice /bin/bash
#
# Your script goes here....
#
# Now when this script is run from the command line as ./run_as_nice.sh, it will execute with lower
# priority to avoid causing the load average to spike as much.
After upgrading from Ruby 1.9.2 to 1.9.3 on a test server, the pg would not install.
mv ~/.rvm/usr/lib ~/.rvm/usr/lib_rvm
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/bin/pg_config.libpq-dev
gem install pg
The mv line was the breakthrough, see:

# foo.tar.bz2, foo.tar.txt, bar.tar.bz2, and bar.tar.txt.
