I think that possibly one of the things which makes it more complex is
that I have ruby installed via the darwinports (
darwinports.opendarwin.org/ ) system.
Basically 'port install ruby' installs v1.8.1 of ruby, puts it in a
sensible place for an OS X system, and sets paths etc. so it all works.
Great way of installing things (partly because 'port uninstall
whatever' works like one would hope!), but not so helpful when it comes
to working out problems like this.
port fetch ruby
port expand ruby
...puts the 1.8.1 source files in a work directory (these are
sub-stages which usually are completed by 'port install ...'). After
reading through
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/89061 I ran
the following in the freshly fetched ruby source dir:
rdoc --ri *.c lib/*.rb
...which apparently worked fine. (This didn't work in
/opt/local/lib/ruby/) Interestingly, it seemed to fail to pick up
anything from any of the .c files, so for example you get:
~> ri 'Array.flatten!'
Nothing known about Array.flatten!
...possibly missing something obvious there?
rdoc --op ~/rdocs *.c lib/*.rb
...however, failed, with the same ".as_href method missing from
nil:NilClass" error as before.
I'll work on it later today (i.e., after sleep!) and see if I can make
any progress.

Glad to help. If you do figure out the problem, could you drop a line
here? I'd like to write up something on running rdoc on the Ruby
source or installation tree; I do it so infrequently I can never
recall exactly what to do.
Thanks,
James
