From: Roger Pack Date: 2009-06-11T22:27:39+09:00 Subject: ri for gems working? For some reason I've never had success with ri + gems ex: rdp@li49-39:~$ gem install eventmachine Successfully installed eventmachine-0.12.8 Installing ri documentation for eventmachine-0.12.8... rdp@li49-39:~$ ri EventMachine No ri documentation found in: Was rdoc run to create documentation? Installing Documentation ------------------------ 'ri' uses a database of documentation built by the RDoc utility. So, how do you install this documentation on your system? It depends on how you installed Ruby. _If you installed Ruby from source files_ (that is, if it some point you typed 'make' during the process :), you can install the RDoc documentation yourself. Just go back to the place where you have your Ruby source and type make install-doc You'll probably need to do this as a superuser, as the documentation is installed in the Ruby target tree (normally somewhere under +/usr/local+. _If you installed Ruby from a binary distribution_ (perhaps using a one-click installer, or using some other packaging system), then the team that produced the package probably forgot to package the documentation as well. Contact them, and see if they can add it to the next release. shouldn't it have picked up the ri from the gem just installed? Just wondering if this is a bug. Thanks. -=r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
