You could use RubyScript2Exe
http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/
.. it collects all necessary files to run your application on an other machine: the Ruby application, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby runtime library (stripped down for your application)

You should look at this list of options given your needs:

They all have their strengths and drawbacks. NOTE: I have not used any of them.

Take a look on my rb2exe. It supports Rails and Gemfile.
gem install rb2exe
echo "puts 'Hello world'" > test.rb
rb2exe test.rb
./test
