Subject: rdoc hoe dependency

For the benefit of us nubies, maybe rdoc should also update hoe if it finds it at lower version (cause otherwise it should not install since it would not run anyway). just a suggestion.

eg

botp@bgmisits:/usr/local/src/ruby-1.8.7-p71$ rdoc --all --ri
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:578:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: hoe(1.6.0 not >= 1.7.0) (Gem::LoadError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:134:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:158:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `each'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `gem'
        from /usr/local/bin/rdoc:18

botp@bgmisits:/usr/local/src/ruby-1.8.7-p71$ sudo gem install hoe
[sudo] password for botp:
Successfully installed hoe-1.7.0
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for hoe-1.7.0...
Installing RDoc documentation for hoe-1.7.0...


botp@bgmisits:/usr/local/src/ruby-1.8.7-p71$ rdoc --all --ri
... works fine now...


kind regards -botp
