Does not find SDL.

[Senevri]

Windows 7 64-bit, JRuby with SDL.dll in application's directory - and the execution directory of ruby. DLL also copied to windows system directories.

LoadError: Could not load SDL.

Which version of SDL did you install? And, exactly which windows system directories did you copy the DLL to?

[Senevri]

1.2.15, 64-bit MinGW, installed to SysWOW64, and when that didn't work, to System32.
I did get it to work with standard ruby, so unsurprisingly, this is an interaction issue with jRuby. Maybe the ball should be passed to them regarding this issue?

I have the same problem: I still don't know how to solve it:
