Subject: Trouble with on gem in rubyscript2exe


Greetings

I'm using rubyscript2exe to build and distribute .exe versions of my 
Ruby-programs at my office.

In one of my programs I use my own gem:

	require 'expanded_date'

this gem is built and installed successfully on my computer. 

This causes a peculiar problem with rubyscript2exe.

Other gems work nicely, so I think my 'expanded_date' gem is somehow
erroneous.  The thing is it works like a charm when used in ruby 'natively
(i.e. not throug rubyscript2exe), and it also works like a charm when used
directly (i.e. not as an installed gem, just as a required '.rb' file).

The problem is when using as a gem _and_ rubyscript2exe.

I'm kind of puzzled. Any tips?

Gemspec
-----------------------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
spec = Gem::Specification.new

spec.name         = 'expanded_date'
spec.version      = '0.1.0'
spec.platform     = Gem::Platform::RUBY
spec.summary      = 'Adds extra functionality to date'
spec.require_path = '.'

spec.files = ['expanded_date.rb']
