If you plan on building running JRuby from source, then here are a few useful symlinks to get things set up. Remember to change the paths to suit.
ln -s ~/Work/ruby/jruby/bin/jruby /usr/bin/jruby
ln -s ~/Work/ruby/jruby/bin/jirb /usr/bin/jirb
ln -s ~/Work/ruby/jruby/bin/jgem /usr/bin/jgem
ln -s ~/Work/ruby/jruby/bin/jirb_swing /usr/bin/jirb_swing
Why run JRuby from source? Because it's developed very actively and there is enough happening that I like to do an
svn up every other week, followed by and
ant clean and an
ant. Yes, that is all it takes :). The svn url is
http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby

I use alias in my .bashrc, something like:
for f in $JRUBY_HOME/bin/*; do
f=$(basename $f)
case $f in jruby*|jirb*|*.bat|*.rb|_*) continue ;; esac
eval "alias j$f='jruby -S $f'"
done
What's wrong with:
export JRUBY_HOME=~/Work/ruby/jruby
export PATH=$JRUBY_HOME/bin:$PATH
simpler, and allows me to execute any gems that get installed in $JRUBY_HOME/bin :)
