Small matter, but when I installed using gem update I got this output:

Updating RubyGems...
...
Successfully installed rubygems-update-0.9.2
Updating version of RubyGems to 0.9.2
Installing RubyGems 0.9.2
Installing rubygems-0.9.1 ri...
Installing rubygems-0.9.1 rdoc...

Note the version numbers ri and rdoc.

Cheers,
