how to ri-rdoc for Ruby on suse

Hello guys,

This is suse SLES 9.2.

I want to get ri working for all users on this system. I used

Code:

gem rdoc --all --ri

to generate documentation and it went on doing it successfully.

Then I tried

Code:

ri Array

It shows following message :

Code:

Nothing known about Array

Therefore I ran "rdoc --ri" as that user and after a long time it generated the documentation and this time "ri Array" did show some result (Same as when you do "man <command>"

but this works only for that user and for other users they always get Nothing known about array.

Is there anyway to generate documentation which would be globally accessible using ri command?

I don't use ruby or gems much, so any help in this matter is really appreciated.

Thanks

ruby-switch

RUBY-SWITCH(1)															    RUBY-SWITCH(1)

NAME

       ruby-switch - switch between different Ruby interpreters

USAGE

       ruby-switch --list

       ruby-switch --check

       ruby-switch --set RUBYVERSION

       ruby-switch --auto

DESCRIPTION

       ruby-switch can be used to easily switch to different Ruby interpreters as the default system-wide interpreter for your Debian system.

       When run with --list, all supported Ruby interpreters are listed.

       When --check is passed, ruby-switch will check which Ruby interpreter is currently being used. If the settings are inconsistent -- e.g.
	 `ruby` is Ruby 1.8 and `gem` is using Ruby 1.9.1, ruby-switch will issue a big warning.

       When --set RUBYINTERPRETER is used ruby-switch will switch your system to the corresponding Ruby interpreter. This includes, for example,
       the default implementations for the following programs: ruby, gem, irb, erb, testrb, rdoc, ri.

       ruby-switch --set auto will make your system use the default Ruby interpreter currently suggested by Debian.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Displays the help and exits.

A NOTE ON RUBY 1.9.x
       Ruby uses two parallel versioning schemes: the `Ruby library compatibility version' (1.9.1 at the time of writing this), which is similar
       to a library SONAME, and the `Ruby version' (1.9.3 is about to be released at the time of writing).

       Ruby packages in Debian are named using the Ruby library compatibility version, which is sometimes confusing for users who do not follow
       Ruby development closely.

       ruby-switch also uses the Ruby library compatibility version, so specifying `ruby1.9.1' might give you Ruby with version 1.9.2, or with
       version 1.9.3, depending on the current Ruby version of the `ruby1.9.1' package.
