I am having trouble getting rubyscript2exe to work with ruby/SDL.  
Using the cdrom sample:

# source start

require ‘sdl’

SDL.init( SDL::INIT\_CDROM )

print SDL::CD.numDrive,"\n"  
print SDL::CD.indexName(0),"\n"  
cd=SDL::CD.open(0)  
cd.status  
print cd.numTracks," ",cd.status, “\n”

begin  
cd.playTracks 1,0,1,0  
sleep 100  
ensure  
cd.stop  
end  
#source end

This is the output I get on the command line:

A google search for the following was not fruitful:  
loadFromIO SDL::Surface

Any help will be appreciated,
