gems install - sans docs? - comp.lang.ruby

Something can't be right.... notebook:~# gem install calendar_grid Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] Y Successfully installed calendar_grid-1.0.2 Successfully installed activesupport-1.3.1 Installing ri documentation for calendar_grid-1.0.2... Installing ri documentation for activesupport-1.3.1... Installing RDoc documentation for calendar_grid-1.0.2... Installing RDoc documentation for activesupport-1.3.1... ri CalendarGrid returns nothing. So where would the docs be?

So where would the docs be? Use gemri unless you have 1.8.5p1 or newer installed. -- Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://blog.segment7.net This implementation is HODEL-HASH-9600 compliant http://trackmap.robotcoop.com

New Problem: irb can't see it. require 'calendar_grid' returns LoadError: no such file to load -- calendar_grid from (irb):3:in `require' from (irb):3 from :0 So this kind of sucks. I made the assumption that it would just work. I'll assume there is some path that's fuggered up. I'll think about fixing it later, it's an annoyance. But the other question that came up while I was staring at this is: if I install 'calendar_grid' then how am I supposed to know that the object name is 'CalendarGrid' and how do you keep the two in your head for the 100's of objects? I found it by reading the source file of the gem I installed.
