Hi,

I'm running into a problem installing rails using gem. How do I fix this?

debian:/usr/local/src# ruby --version
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-08-24) [i386-linux]

debian:/usr/local/src# gem install rails
Attempting local installation of 'rails'

You don't have RDoc installed. Debian has chopped off Ruby into tiny
packages. Have a look at http://www.rubyon...show/Rai...
for help.

If tar.gz's are your thing, Ara, you might enjoy Gentoo
(http://www....) as well. I've found my gentoo install to be
quite capable as a ruby development platform.

I dearly love Gentoo as a distro, but I did have one issue with the
ebuild scripts for ruby. I had to manually add the
--enable-install-doc option to the default portage ebuild script for
ruby-1.8.2_pre2 in order to get ri to work correctly. I suggested to
the maintainer of the portage script to add a "doc" USE flag to
control this.

Did anyone else have the same issue I did? Is there a more clever way
around this?

Thanks,

Regards,

Jason

Jason,

It looks like this works now--I have the doc USE flag set, and it went
and built all the ri stuff (and I mean ALL the ri stuff).

However...don't know if this is a gentoo problem or a Jamis problem, but
ri is now broken for me. If I do (for example) "ri Array", I only get a
handful of methods shown to me (abbrev, is_complex_yaml?, pretty_print,
pretty_print_cycle, quote, to_yaml, to_yaml_type). Anyone else seen
this? Is there a way to fix this so I can use ri again? Please?

Here is what my "ri Array" command returns, is that more or less than
you expected?:

----------------------------------------------------------- Class: Array
Arrays are ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object.
Array indexing starts at 0, as in C or Java. A negative index is
assumed to be relative to the end of the array---that is, an index
of -1 indicates the last element of the array, -2 is the next to
last element in the array, and so on.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Includes:
---------
Enumerable(all?, any?, collect, detect, each_with_index, entries,
find, find_all, grep, include?, inject, map, max, member?, min,
partition, reject, select, sort, sort_by, to_a, to_set, zip)


Class methods:
--------------
[], new


Instance methods:
-----------------
&, *, +, -, <<, <=>, ==, [], []=, abbrev, assoc, at, clear,
collect, collect!, compact, compact!, concat, delete, delete_at,
delete_if, each, each_index, empty?, eql?, fetch, fill, first,
flatten, flatten!, frozen?, hash, include?, index, indexes,
indices, initialize_copy, insert, inspect, join, last, length, map,
map!, nitems, pack, pop, push, rassoc, reject, reject!, replace,
reverse, reverse!, reverse_each, rindex, select, shift, size,
slice, slice!, sort, sort!, to_a, to_ary, to_s, transpose, uniq,
uniq!, unshift, values_at, zip, |

Jason

[snip]

That is the minimum that I expected. (It's what ri used to return until
I recompiled ruby with the doc USE flag enabled.)

Here's the complete output from "ri18 Array" that I'm seeing:

----------------------------------------------------------- Class: Array
Sequences: Array#to_yaml

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instance methods:
-----------------
abbrev, is_complex_yaml?, pretty_print, pretty_print_cycle, quote,
to_yaml, to_yaml_type




And, for Object:

---------------------------------------------------------- Class: Object
(no description...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Includes:
---------
PP::ObjectMixin(pretty_print, pretty_print_cycle,
pretty_print_inspect, pretty_print_instance_variables)


Instance methods:
-----------------
is_complex_yaml?, to_yaml, to_yaml_properties, to_yaml_type



I have no idea what is going on. Has anyone else seen this?
