Just run  'rdoc --ri-site and it'll put it in a site-wide directory

To find the location of the site-wide documentation directory, you can 
use the command

      ruby -r rdoc/ri/ri_paths -e 'p RI::Paths::SITEDIR'


The 'ri' in the released 1.8.1 is old and has some bugs. The one in the 
1.8.1 branch of CVS is identical to the 1.9 one.
