Subject: Re: best way to make .rb into an executable for linux?

FWIW, you can create a single-file executable (a jar file, basically,
run with java -jar jarfile.jar) with JRuby that runs anywhere Java's
installed and doesn't require any per-machine build or any other
dependencies to be installed (including JRuby itself). Might be an
easier path, if you're willing to use JRuby.
