Installing tar2rubyscript and rubyscript2exe

[Michael Satterwhite]

I'm trying to install tar2rubyscript and rubyscript2exe. I executed the
following 2 statements:

sudo gem install tar2rubyscript
sudo gem install rubyscript2exe

Gem indicates that it installed them. In addition if I execute

gem search --local tar2rubyscript

It reports that it is installed. The problem is that I can't find the
executable tar2rubyscript - or the ruby script tar2rubyscript.rb. The
same is true for rubyscript2exe. I even did a "find /usr -name
'tar2rubyscript*' - and nothing turns up.

Is there another (better) way to install these? I openly admit that I
must be doing *SOMETHING* wrong, but I don't see it.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, they *DON'T* have the answer to the *ONE* question I need to
get started:

How the heck do you get it installed where it can be used?!

In *THEORY* it is installed right now (gem says it is, anyway). But as I
can't find the files tar2rubyscript and rubyscript2exe (or
tar2rubyscript.rb and rubyscript2exe.rb) anywhere, the instructions on
how to actually use those files are completely useless.

Chiming in, quick question.

what "gem list tar2rubyscript -d" output?

Perhaps where these binaries got installed is not in your PATH, and
thus, not be able to execute them.

Also, what is the output of "gem env"?
