I am trying to generate html docs for 1.9 with the rdoc supplied with  
it. But it just seems to hang when it shows generating html. I waited  
for like 15 or 20 mins. Will it take more time or is just hanging in a  
loop or something. All the files in classes and files dir and rdoc-  
style.css file is there but it just does not make the index.html  
file.

Whats the problem here???

Does it go faster if you install rdoc from a gem? The RDoc in 1.9.1  
uses the HTML generator which can consume as much as 2G of memory  
generating RDoc. RDoc 2.4+ consumes about 200M
