Problem with rdoc?

ruby-talk
1

I’ve done some translation of some Perl packages to Ruby, and I’m
trying to get them ready for distribution, which means documentation
and packaging system choices. I’m trying to use rdoc. I was using the
version that came with the 1.7/Windows version, and then I downloaded
and installed rdoc beta-2. I’m now getting this result – and I can’t
figure out why.

I’m debating, as well, whether I will use rpkg, rubygems, or the
"setup" script that I’ve seen – what makes the difference between
these?

Could you send me the source file that causes the problem and I’ll
track it down.

Thanks

Can’t say, but for rpkg, wait for the next release – it’s much more
convenient for both the package maintainer and the end user, and I’m
not striving for compatibility with the current one as the old package
base is very small.
