Subject: Re: RubyScript2Exe 0.3.3

This is one of the most needed project for ruby. Thanks a million. I am
trying to create an executable for simple tkhello program under
windows. It creates an exe but when I execute it, it throws following
error: Can't find usuable init.tcl

Here is program:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
require "tk"
TkButton.new(nil,
             :text => 'hello',
             :command => proc{print "hello\n"}).pack(:fill=>'x')
TkButton.new(nil,
             :text => 'quit',
             :command => proc{exit}).pack(:fill=>'x')
Tk.mainloop
---------------------------------------------------------------------

And I made an executable by typing following in command prompt:
ruby init.rb tkhello.rb

---------------------------------------------------------------------
