Thanks Lyle.

Actually, I was able to figure it out while at work. Checking out from
the CVS does not seem to get the core files. When I downloaded the
tar file linked from RAA and installed it as per instructions, it came
with all the required core files. It is working now but I may have
uncovered a bug which I will describe in another post.

I still prefer the ease of use of  Eric Veenstra's rubyscript2exe:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=rubyscript2exe
although it runs only on windows and makes bigger exe files.

Thanks again,
