I tried to compile a simple TK/Ruby code using “ruby rubyscript2exe.rb  
squarecalc.rb --rubyscript2exe-tk” and:  
Tracing squarecalc …  
Gathering files…  
Copying files…  
Copying TCL/TK…  
Stripping…  
Creating squarecalc\_darwin …  
and when I click on the squarecalc\_darwin (the file it created)I get  
this:

Welcome to Darwin!

/Users/stefan/Ruby/rubyscript2exe/squarecalc\_darwin;  
exit/tmp/eee.squarecalc\_darwin.2/lib/tcltklib.bundle: [BUG] Bus Error  
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]

logout  
[Process completed]

Any tips on how to not get this? Am I using too old of a version of  
ruby?(version 1.8.2)  
Or could this be a problem with my code, or the way im trying to open  
the  
file that rubyscript2exe created?  
Or I highly doubt this but is that what this is supposed to do?  
Please help, Thanks!!
