So, rubygems is included inside jruby-complete.jar, but may not
visible if the initial load path is not setup properly. I suspect the
problem is with JRuby-Rack 0.9.4, but I'd have to bisect to be sure.
Do you suspect the problem exists for any Rails app with Tomcat 5 and
JRuby-Rack 0.9.4? Trying to come up with the combination that produces
the error, so I can bisect back to figure out what causes the issue.
At first glance I have a hard time seeing how Solaris could be part of
the equation.
Also, can you try doing "puts *$LOAD_PATH" and "puts ENV['GEM_PATH']"
at the top of config/boot.rb to see what those values are? (You may
also try "$servlet_context.log" instead to force the output to
Tomcat's catalina.out.
