It seems that you can't run the RI document option twice in the same program invocation. I've patched my local gem command to trap the error and continue with the rest of the RDOC/RI generation. Only the first RI document is generated, all the others fail with similar errors. I think it is good to *not* abort the entire gem command on a documentation installation error (assuming appropriate error messages are given), so I will fix that in gems. But that just sidesteps the basic problem of why the RI documentation fails. I will post a message in Ruby-core about this. -- -- Jim Weirich [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas) _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
