Installing Standard Ruby Classes Documentation with rdoc3

Question

What is the correct procedure to have the standard Ruby class documentation available via the "ri" system? I know about the rdoc-data gem, but is that still appropriate for the rdoc3 (3.0.1) gem?

Ruby 1.8.7/Linux (OS) specific if possible.

Thank you.

Did you install via a package manager, or did you build from source? If building from source, did you run the make command for the documentation? — Phrogz

I ended up installing the rdoc-data gem and ran:

rdoc-data --install

(after creating /usr/share/ri) and it all seems to work. It would be nice if there was a way to install the documentation to somewhere other than /usr/share/ri but at least the docs are available.
