Just curious if anybody else has had this happen to them:
I installed ruby from source, then rubygems from source (1.0.1) onto
that.

Then I would expect gems to install things without any problems--it's a
fresh install. However, this occurs.

[Wed Mar 12 20:42:38 ~/Downloads/rubygems-1.0.1 ]$ ~/ppc_local/bin/gem
install rails -v 1.2.3

RDoc failure in lib/rake.rb at or around line 961 column 3

Before reporting this, could you check that the file
you're documenting compiles cleanly--RDoc is not a
full Ruby parser, and gets confused easily if fed
invalid programs.

The internal error was:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

When I re-run the gem install it always works the second time. Ahh!
False is taking over everywhere!
(tongue in cheek).

Take care.
