I saw the same problem on Win2k. The error was because the stringio file 
was referring to the YAML module, but it did not declare itself as part 
of the YAML module, nor did it reference it. I got rdoc to run properly 
by buttressing everything in the stringio file with

module YAML

end

Whether that's correct or not I don't know.
