Subject: Creating ri docs on windows

I just bought the new Pickaxe II book and am trying to follow along.
But when I type

ri enable

I get the following error:

No ri documentation found in:
/usr/share/ri/1.8/system
/usr/share/ri/1.8/site
/c/eli/.rdoc
Was rdoc run to create documentation?

I'm currently using the cygwin installation (ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25)
[i386-cygwin]). (I tried using the One Click windows installation, but
that didn't have OpenSSL support.)  Is there an easy way to run rdoc to
create all the documentation of the standard  installed libraries?  I
tried "rdoc --ri-site", but received the following error:
