root@nightcrawler# qpkg -l ruby |grep '/bin/'
/usr/bin/ruby18
/usr/bin/erb18
/usr/bin/irb18
/usr/bin/rdoc18
/usr/bin/ri18
/usr/bin/testrb18

It did seem to create the documentation when I added the 'doc' USE flag, 
but didn't install any 'ri' that I can see.

But even if I can get it to work on Gentoo, I'm curious about how it 
should work when working from source.
