It is true that you need the xml2 / libxslt dlls in your path.

However, I have found it necessary to update to jruby-1.4.0RC2 (for some FFI improvements I believe).

Also, need to update to the latest nokogiri 1.3.3 & manually apply the following commit:

http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/commit/0555c69e70083a6368b563f18da2c8d5416515cc

OR install nokogiri from github trunk.

I hope this is helpful.
