Hello,  
I am using engines from the svn trunk with Rails 1.0 and when I  
execute  
`rdoc’ in the engines directory, I get the following output and then  
some  
errors.

Thanks.

```
            engine_generator.rb: mmmc..c.c....c...c....
                 init_engine.rb:
                      engine.rb:

You might find the ‘rake plugindoc’ task more useful…
