There are two approaches to this problem. 1) Modify RakeFileUtils::RUBY defintion to include EXEEXT. 2) Modify system() in ruby to properly find executables without extension. The first one is easy, and fixing this will also fix the skipped test for Rake. But this will introduce issues for Rake on JRuby since it will be adding ".exe" under Windows to already "ruby_install_name" [EMAIL PROTECTED] (D:\Users\Luis) $ jirb irb(main):001:0> require 'rbconfig' => true irb(main):002:0> RbConfig::CONFIG['bindir'] => "D:/Users/Luis/ruby/jruby-1.1.4/bin" irb(main):003:0> RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_install_name'] => "jruby.bat" irb(main):004:0> RbConfig::CONFIG['EXEEXT'] => ".exe" The second one is more complicated, as you may know ruby-core is really reluctant to introduce changes and not all the users will benefit from this. I'm open to suggestions.
