Subject: win32API problem running ocra in linux

hi all.

I'm in linux and need to make an executable version of a script for one
of my windows-using colleagues to run.  I tried with rubyscript2exe
originally and gave up after various problems and reading about
workarounds which looked like a nightmare.

So, i'm giving ocra a go.  But, it's failing with the following error:

>=== Loading script to check dependencies
>=== WARNING: I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord was not loadable
>[memcache-client] Could not load SystemTimer gem, falling back to Ruby's slower/unsafe timeout library: no such file to load -- system_timer

I tried installing the win32-api gem but the install failed.  Can this
gem even be installed in linux?

Grateful for any advice, max
