Check out RubyScript2Exe: [http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html](http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html) > 1. i heard that ruby can make rhtml file (ruby html) how? .rhtml files are files with embedded Ruby, much like how PHP is often used. You can then use erb (included with Ruby) or eruby to parse it: [http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/classes/ERB.html](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/classes/ERB.html) [http://www.modruby.net/en/index.rbx/eruby/whatis.html](http://www.modruby.net/en/index.rbx/eruby/whatis.html) > 1. i often heard about configing ruby but how? it is like put comand at > my > command prompt? Not sure what you mean. > 1. where i can get FXRuby help for beginner? The fxruby page seems to have good documentation. I don’t use it myself, so I don’t know more than that: > **[How to work with Ruby App - Hosting - Namecheap.com](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10049/2182/how-to-work-with-ruby-app/)** > > Learn more about How to work with Ruby App. Find your answers at Namecheap Knowledge Base.

Thank you very much finally some one answer me what i mean config is here i take some part of manual about YARV or something $ cd build $ …/yarv/configure --prefix=[your install dir] --program-suffix=-yarv $ make [BASERUBY=[your base ruby command]] $ make test (show some errors around block parameter) $ make test-all (show 20 or some erros) $ make install and many more some thing like those above, what are that meaning? wow, i try visiting [http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html](http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html) but the tutorial is very confusing is rubyscript2exe.rb can run in Ruby one Clik instaler without any confihguration? and about erb in your second link its only in tar.gz format how to embeded it in Window OS ---

It’s not very high traffic, but there are some knowledgeable folks listening. [http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/fxruby-users](http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/fxruby-users) ---

That looks like a list of commands to compile and install something in Unix or Linux. If you’re using Windows and the Ruby O.-Click Installer, you don’t need to worry about this. YARV is a virtual machine for Ruby that’s still in development, and should only be completed by the time Ruby 1.9 or 2.0 comes out, so you don’t need to worry about that either.
