Hi,
So I noticed that documentation for ri seems to be stored in yaml files in
subdirectories of my opt/local/share/ri/1.8/system folder. And not in
usr/local/bin or usr/bin with my tools.
I always see rdoc generating help files for my gems as they install. But
whenever I ri (e.g., ri "Something"), I get "nothing known about
#{Something}". Even for Array and String, I get "nothing."
Is there an environment variable for the ri path? What should it be? Or am I
just missing something?
TIA,
Steve

Steve,
ri --doc-dir /opt/local/share/ri/1.8/system Array
This option can be specified multiple times. Perhaps you want to set an alias.
