OK, but I got the latest rdoc from CVS, and installed that before
doing the rdoc. I have not actually installed the cvs ruby.
ruby --version gives
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [sparc-solaris2.9]
So why has the new rdoc not installed, and failed silently?
:r! which rdoc ; ls -l `which rdoc`

/usr/local/bin/rdoc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other        156 Jan 30 17:27 /usr/local/bin/rdoc

So it should be picking up those files even if the /usr/local/bin/rdoc itself
is old.
