Not much better,

private method `split' called for nil:NilClass
init.rb:98:in `get_exerb_version'
init.rb:79:in `test_for_correct_version_of_exerb'
init.rb:219:in `initialize'
init.rb:259:in `new'
init.rb:259

The reason is that i don't have the binary files from exerb installed.
This is also not necessary to use exerb, you only can trust that the
"lib" files are somewhere in the library path. At least this is what i
found in the doc files, and it works perfectly. Using

ruby -r exerb/mkexr foo.rb

is enough to get a recipe file.
So your code should be:

require 'exerb/version'
@exerb_major_version=Exerb::VERSION.split(".")[0]

And of course use a begin/rescue if exerb is not installed.
