Am I the only to get this rather weird error when trying to run “make  
install”  
in the build directory of a svn-extracted yarv tree?

It always fails when trying to regen the ri docs. It started to happen a  
few  
revisions ago.

ruby 2.0.0 (Base: Ruby 1.9.0 2006-04-08) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0]  
YARVCore 0.4.1 Rev: 525 (2006-07-18) [opts: [direct threaded code]  
[inline method cache] ]
