I'm not sure why it's invoking the gem when you're manually running the
(presumably patched) version from your own account.  Maybe you should
uninstall the gem to avoid confusion.  FWIW, this is how I'm invoking it
in my Makefile (for a program called recepsum):

recepsum.exe: recepsum.rb
	ruby rubyscript2exe.rb recepsum.rb --rubyscript2exe-rubyw
