Dear all,

I am trying to compile a binary from a Ruby program using tar2rubyscript  
and  
rubyscript2exe  
from an archive.  
This gives me an executable file, which actually produces what I want  
the  
executable file to do,  
but just on the one computer I created the executable on - when I copy  
the  
executable to another computer, I get the following error for the  
script :

/bin/sh: /tmp/eee.appl2\_linux.2/bin/ruby: cannot execute binary file

Thank you for any advice.

Best regards,

Axel
