Hi,
The copy of joda-time embedded in the jruby.jar seems to be broken. Rebuilding jruby with a non-broken joda-time shoud fix the issue. When trying to run this bsh script: echo "System.out.println(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.getDefault());" with Jruby, I get the same error: $ bsh -classpath /usr/share/java/jruby.jar script.bsh BeanShell 2.0b4 - by Pat Niemeyer ([email protected]) bsh % System.out.println(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.getDefault()); Exception in thread "main" java.io.EOFException at java.io.DataInputStream.readFully(DataInputStream.java:197) at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(DataInputStream.java:609) at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(DataInputStream.java:564) at org.joda.time.tz.ZoneInfoProvider.readZoneInfoMap(ZoneInfoProvider.java:278) at org.joda.time.tz.ZoneInfoProvider.loadZoneInfoMap(ZoneInfoProvider.java:256) [...] UTC But with joda time, it works as expected: $ bsh -classpath /usr/share/java/jruby.jar Europe/Paris For some reason the "ZoneInfoMap" file seems to be broken in the copy of joda-time embedded in jruby. As a quickfix, I added joda-time in the classpath in /usr/bin/jruby, exec "$JAVA_CMD" $JAVA_OPTS "$JFFI_OPTS" "${java_args[@]}" -Xbootclasspath/a:"/usr/share/java/joda-time.jar:$JRUBY_CP" -classpath "$CP$CP_DELIMITER$CLASSPATH" and now jruby works as expected: $ jruby -S gem RubyGems is a sophisticated package manager for Ruby. This is a basic help message containing pointers to more information.
