Ruby/Tk and rubyscript2exe problem

ruby-talk

Hello, I am trying to compile a standalone exe file from a program
that I have written using ruby/tk. It runs completely fine from the
command line, but when I try to compile it I get the a message stating
that there is a problem in "...ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1102"
specifically

"tcltklib:fail to Tk.Init(). invalid command name "tcl_findLibrary"
(RuntimeError)"

thus when I try to run the program it says that there is no gem "tk"
to load and it does not run. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

rubyscript2exe mycoolprogram.rbw --rubyscript2exe-tk --rubyscript2exe-rubyw

Yes I have tried using the "rubyscript2exe mycoolprogram.rbw
--rubyscript2exe-tk --rubyscript2exe-rubyw" setup, but it doesn't
really seem to make a difference. It still runs into problems when it
tries to read the file tk.rb, so I assume that the problem is there.
I suppose I could just try adding Tk.Init() to the tk.rb file, but I
wasn't sure if that would help.
