I’m trying to use rubyscript2exe on there website,  
[http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html](http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html) it says that it can  
also compile for Linux and Mac. I’m really trying to have this done by  
next  
Friday (so a week from today) Can anyone help me out? I’ve e-mailed the  
person incharge of the app to but who knows if he checks  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid 😕

Sincerly,  
Undead

On linux, running

rubyscript2exe foo.rb

generates a file called foo\_linux (which is the all-in-one executable).  
That’s my experience anyway.

Are you getting a .exe file? Does it have execute permissions? What  
happens when you try to run that file on linux?

Okay I’ll try to see if I can get someone if Linux to run it and see if  
it  
works out correctly

Thanks for the help,
