New to the list and to ruby (and to coding for that matter), but may as well jump in here.

I installed 1.8.1 from source, and found I had to remove the existing ruby binary to get the system to correctly use the newer installation for some reason.  I also can't get ri to work with 1.8.1, I assume because it can't find the  files.

Any suggestions?
