Subject: rdoc windows issues

Here is a more detailed description of what is wrong with rdocI'm trying to build ruby from source using the stable-snapshot from here:ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz
Building on a winXP box using mingw/msys
Ruby builds just fine, everything seems to work afaik.To configure and build I used the following:
./configure --prefix=C:\ruby --enable-shared(fine)
make(fine)
make install(fine)
make install-doc(broken!)
Generating RDoc documentation./miniruby.exe ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- "./bin/rdoc" --all --ri--op "C:/test_ruby/share/ri/1.8/system" "."c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/tracer.rb:27:in `(null)': undefined method `[]'for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)        from c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/rdoc/parsers/parse_rb.rb:16:in `(null)'        from c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/rdoc/rdoc.rb:8:in `(null)'        from ./bin/rdoc:59make: *** [do-install-doc] Error 1

Seems like this is a window issue andperhaps there are somethings in the wrong placeshere are the relevant lines from the files mentioned in theoutput.
*Here is line 59 of ./bin/rdocrequire 'rdoc/rdoc'
*Here is line 8 of c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/rdoc/rdoc.rbrequire 'rdoc/parsers/parse_rb.rb'
*Here is line 16 of c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/rdoc/parsers/parse_rb.rbrequire "tracer"
*Here is line 27 from c:/ruby/build/ruby/lib/tracer.rbMY_FILE_NAME = caller(0)[0].scan(/^(.*):[0-9]+$/)[0][0]


Can anyone make heads or tails of whats wrong with my setup?Thank you!
