Hi All,
I have removed/re-installed Ruby* via yum, and still can't run ri for
anything. Surely, this must be a bug, no?

No ri documentation found in:
Was rdoc run to create documentation?
Installing Documentation
------------------------
'ri' uses a database of documentation built by the RDoc utility.
So, how do you install this documentation on your system? It depends on
how you installed Ruby.
_If you installed Ruby from source files_ (that is, if it some point you
typed 'make' during the process :), you can install the RDoc
documentation yourself. Just go back to the place where you have your
Ruby source and type
make install-doc
You'll probably need to do this as a superuser, as the documentation is
installed in the Ruby target tree (normally somewhere under
+/usr/local+.
_If you installed Ruby from a binary distribution_ (perhaps using a
one-click installer, or using some other packaging system), then the
team that produced the package probably forgot to package the
documentation as well. Contact them, and see if they can add it to the
next release.
