Think that this simply means that for some reasons you embedded the
exerb/version file into your .exe file.  Don't know why you want to do
this.

You can simply call exerb as a ruby command line script as you did
before but this time with the following code

command_to_execute="ruby -e \'require \"exerb/version\"; puts Exerb::VERSION"
  begin
   @exerb_major_version = IO.popen(command_to_execute).gets.split(".")[0]
  rescue
    @exerb_major_version = "0"
  end

or you deliver the complete exerb package together with your
extensions. Then you don't need to check anything.

Mixing both styles seems like a bad idea and i guess what you want is the
former.

By the way. On the website i couldn't find the source code. Only zip
files containing binaries.
