Hi

I have written an application using RubyCocoa and would like it to be  
run on others Macs. I have tried the following, none of which work:

1. Copied the MyApp.app folder.

2. Run standaloneify. This produces a new .app folder with the gems  
and other files (dependencies). However, the app does not start when  
running MyApp.app. I also ran MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp. This  
opens a terminal window saying “…ThirdParty/rubygems.rb:350: in  
‘insert’: no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError)…”

3. I ran “rake package” from the project folder. This too falis with  
sh: rubycocoa: command not found.

I’d like to create a standalone application folder that people can  
just copy to their \Application folder. They’re all running Leopard  
although they won’t have the latest version of RubyCocoa or some gems  
that I’ve used in the app.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

Praful
