Subject: getting ri working on FreeBSD

I seem to have run into a small problem on FreeBSD.  Hopefully, someone
here has an answer.  (Note: cross-posted to freebsd-questions list)

No matter what I try to look up with ri (the Ruby information utility 
that is used to look up stuff about classes, methods, et cetera, from the
command line), it returns the same result:

  > ri Time.strftime
  Nothing known about Time.strftime

I don't see anything in /usr/ports/lang that seems to relate to the 
matter of ensuring ri has a database of information to share.  What
am I missing?  How can I get ri working properly on FreeBSD?
