ri yields "Nothing known about..." though rvm docs exist ('rvm docs open' works)

Question

I've installed Ruby. I've generated the rvm docs (with $ rvm docs generate). I've closed terminal and re-opened it.

When I enter this: $ ri GC I get this: "Nothing known about GC"

If I enter this: $ rvm docs open It does open the docs on my local drive. ...and I can search for "GC" and see it's page. file://localhost/Users/mynamehere/.rvm/docs/ruby-2.0.0-p247/rdoc/GC.html

I just can't get the terminal command to produce anything, for any methods. Any idea why?

Answer 1

start with:

rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p247 --disable-binary
rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p247
rvm docs generate
ri GC

the initial problem will be handled with https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2118 (thx @a7d7p)
