Ah - I suspect you may have an old copy of RDoc lying around that's 
somehow getting mixed up with the new one. I thought I'd handled that, 
but it might be that if your various paths are non-standard I haven't 
tried those cases.

To get you up and running, try removing all the installed versions of 
RDoc and ri, where ever they are, and then run the installation again 
to re-install them.

Thanks
