RDoc where are you?

[Xeno Campanoli]

I've been trying for well over a month now, and I cannot get access to RDOC.
Is this some kind of vast Masonic conspiracy eminating out of Downing Street,
or am I just dumb as a sack of nails or something? gems won't install it,
and it doesn't run like it's says in pickaxe. I use both SuSE and Debian,
and would much prefer to be programming in Ruby, rather than trying to figure
out how to get all the parts installed all the time.

Sincerely, TAX (That Awful Xeno).

Probably because RDoc is now part of core Ruby. If you have 1.8.2
installed, you have RDoc.

Surely not.

gems won't install it,

Debian,

First, are you aware of http://ruby-doc.org/? It's the online
version of the documentation, so you can access it right now.

Second, I build the RDoc files from the source which means that I type:

$ sudo rdoc --ri-system

In the root level directory of Ruby's source. That builds the docs
and afterwards, ri should function as expected.

Good luck and welcome!
