I''m still a new user of Ruby, sort of trailling it at the moment. I''ve written a program using RealBasic which I can compile to Windows, Linux & Mac that accesses and maniuplates MySql databases. What I''m wanting to do is convert that program to wxRuby. Assuming the program is written and I''m satisfied that it works how simple is it to distribute, for people to download and run it. For user''s to download it I''m assuming they would have to have Ruby installed on their computer. Is there an easy way to package things to Windows, Linux and/or Mac. Any suggestions welcome. Steve.

Making a RubyGem is another possibility. Going with a gem helps with dependency issues and rolling back to old versions is easy to do.
