Subject: rdoc reinstall breaks fast-ri - now what?

I am really just not having any luck with rdoc / ri these days. Because
the new version of rdoc promised that File#read would finally succeed
(automatic lookup of methods in the supercclass), I downloaded it. It
didn't change anything so I rebuilt my documentation from scratch. Now
fast-ri is broken. Can anyone divine from this error what's gone wrong
and what I should do? Thx - m.
