uh-oh! RDoc had a problem:
marshal data too short
Updated by stepheneb (Stephen Bannasch) about 13 years ago
The problem I was having seems to occur when I don't also run make clean
This worked:
git checkout v1_9_3_rc1
~/bin/autoconf
./configure --prefix=/home/deploy3/ruby/builds/1_9_3_rc1
make clean
make
This bug should be closed ... however the specific error reported when generating RI is confusing.
