Rubyscript2exe FileUtils error

Ruby

Hi, I am having trouble with rubyscript2exe when FileUtils is in my
script. The error is easily reproducible:

require “FileUtils”
puts “Hello World”

The error is:

ruby>ruby rubyscript2exe.rb hello.rb --rubyscript2exe-verbose
Tracing hello …
Hello World

require ‘fileutils’ instead. Fixed the problem for me.

That did it!

Thanks for the prompt reply and easy fix!

RubyScript2EXE does this:

require “fileutils”

If you require FileUtils in a different case, it gets required again by
RubyScript2EXE, fileutils.rb gets loaded twice, which causes the
problem.
