Bret, I do believe that all of the necessary gems were copied over; it seems to me that I cannot find the right options to the gem install command to get it to "see" the gems in the cache directory. I like your all- out method of copying the entire ruby directory, but I may have some trouble since that zip file will contain .exe files. I would be really interested in learning what the proper gem install command would be, in any case (and where the copied gem cache should reside for it to work).
