Hello,

Without any real explanation, all of the sudden, my “ri” died:

$ ri  
dyld: NSLinkModule() error  
dyld: Symbol not found: \_st\_init\_numtable  
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.3.0/  
syck.bundle  
Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap  
$

It was working absolutely fine a little while ago.  
Ruby still works fine.

Any hints?

Merc.
