Question installing JRuby 1.5.2 under SuSe SLES 10

I downloaded jruby-bin-1.5.2.targ.gz on my SuSe SLES 10 system.

1) - How do I compile it?
2) - Any url with installation instructions?

Thank you

It's the -bin package. You don't have to compile it. Just unpack it.
It's ready to run, so long as you have Java installed on your system.

Just unpack it somewhere and put the bin dir on your PATH. I put it at the end of my path like this:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jruby/bin

(in ~/.zshenv).

IIRC the only dependency is java jre.

Your service is faster and better than a pay service!

To what directory should the files be extracted to?
The default target folder showing is Desktop!
What's the standard?

Thank you
