Ri File

I still can’t get the ri on File:

$ ri -T File
More than one class or module matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:

  File, FileTest, FileUtils, File

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-02-15) [i686-linux]

The ri version is alpha 0.1. I let make install build all the rdoc stuff.

I mentioned this in ruby-talk:89080, along with a way to reproduce the
problem in a short example. Dave fixed the problem in CVS. Now, with the
latest snapshot (Feb 15), the example works fine with rdoc/ri, but I
still can’t ‘ri File’.

Maybe I have to manually remove some old stuff from the install directories?

I have tried removing and rebuilding my ~/.rdoc.

It’s probably obvious… Thanks in advance.

FWIW, ruby 1.9.0 (2004-02-11) [i686-linux] works for me.

Yeah, it was because I had duplicate ri files in
/usr/local/share/ri/1.9/system and ~/.rdoc. Fixed now.
