Subject: Running an executable local file with a Ruby script??

I'm having a lot of problems just running an executable local file with
a Ruby script.  I go to the directory with the file (call the executable
file 'mkplots'), then try to run that file.

I've tried all sorts of system and back-quoted commands, and nothing
works.  If I go to the UNIX command line and simply type the file name,
it runs fine.

What am I doing wrong??  Why doesn't the following command work:

system( "mkplots" )

--- or ---

`mkplots`
