Looks like you don’t have rdoc installed. Since rdoc is a standard part
of the ruby distribution, I’m guessing that you are running ruby on a
debian or debian based system that has split up standard ruby into
multiple packages.

Check your distribution packages for the ruby/rdoc package. You might
want to double check for other things that are missing as well.
