Which version of jruby are you using?  This is something that is
supposedly fixed in 1.0RC1.  (see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-79 and
http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/ )

In earlier versions than that, you can add a directory by setting the
java system property jruby.lib.  Note that this is not an
environmental variable that you set, but something you set in the java
environment before you call out to jruby.  (My context with jruby is
in using it as a scripting engine in some larger java program; I don't
use it standalone myself.  For standalone ruby, I have ruby.)
