There can be several ways to make stand-alone executable from Ruby
program.  

  * dump core after loading everything, then use undump; this scheme
    is used by Emacs and Perl.

  * write out internal program representation like bytecodes; Python
    uses this scheme (among others).

  * generate C program by translator.  experimental (but usable) rb2c
    translator does this.

Have you tried rb2c ?
