RVM can't install jruby-1.6.6

I'm trying to use RVM to install jruby-1.6.6 to run a legacy application.

I am having trouble because every time I go to install I get an error message and a broken jruby:

$ rvm install jruby-1.6.6
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
Found remote file http://jruby.org.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/1.6.6/jruby-bin-1.6.6.tar.gz
Checking requirements for osx.
Requirements installation successful.

RVM can not install rubygems for older jruby, select other ruby and try again.
expr: syntax error

After I run this, I get:

$ rvm list

rvm rubies

   jruby-1.6.6 [ broken ]

which is no fun.

I just says "RVM can't do this" but I can't find out why. Any help at all will be appreciated.

I got it working acceptably by running rvm install jruby-1.6.6 --create. I'm not sure why.

since it's legacy - you might need a legacy version of RVM as well (or simply try latest RVM) ... I can confirm RVM still installs jruby-1.6.8 fine (which is really close to 1.6.6 and even as it's legacy it's probably really worth updating from 1.6.6), otherwise I would not expect this to work and download 1.6.6 directly unzip it and roll.
