I installed fri and it is somehow thinking it should look for doc on  
old gems. For example, I have actionpack-2.0.2 installed, yet fri is  
looking for actionpack-1.13.3.

I did a gem cleanup and then a rake redoc

Typing:

fri -L form\_for

gives me:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fastri-0.3.1.1/lib/fastri/  
ri\_index.rb:346:in `initialize': No such file or directory - /opt/ local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/actionpack-1.13.3/ri/ActionView/Helpers/ FormHelper/form_for-i.yaml (Errno::ENOENT) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fastri-0.3.1.1/lib/fastri/ ri_index.rb:346:in`open’

Should bugs be reported on rubyforge? (not sure if this is a bug or  
user error.)

Thx

Have you tried rebuilding the fastri index?

fastri-server -b

or, if you want to use full-text search,

fastri-server -Bb

Worked like a charm. Is there any writeup on the Web about this? All I  
found was the rubyforge page and the home page at  
[http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?fastri](http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?fastri)  
is serving up a 503.

Thx,
