Jim:

The folks at ruby-doc have nothing to do with ri and rdoc (apart from 
using it). Feel free to drop me e-mail and I'll do my best to help.

In this case, the "--enable-install-doc" option is not current. In the 
latest CVS, the installation is enabled by default (there was much 
discussion on ruby-code about this. At some point matz decided and the 
patch went in) Could you check your Makefile. You should find lines 
that look something like:

install:	install-nodoc install-doc

install-nodoc:	rbconfig.rb
		$(MINIRUBY) $(srcdir)/instruby.rb $(SCRIPT_ARGS) 
--mantype="$(MANTYPE)"
		$(MINIRUBY) $(srcdir)/ext/extmk.rb $(SCRIPT_ARGS) install

what-where no-install:	rbconfig.rb
		$(MINIRUBY) $(srcdir)/instruby.rb -n $(SCRIPT_ARGS) 
--mantype="$(MANTYPE)"
		$(MINIRUBY) $(srcdir)/ext/extmk.rb -n $(SCRIPT_ARGS) install

install-doc:
		@echo Generating RDoc documentation
		$(bindir)/$(PROGRAM) $(srcdir)/bin/rdoc --all --ri-system $(srcdir)
