thanks gavin. there *is* an installer. 
however i noticed that the installer didn't automatically copy any docs. this is also the case for a few other packages i installed. 
why don't installers do that? do ruby application installers never copy docs to the ruby/docs folder. should i always do it manually? if so, why?

thanks again
