For what it's worth, I tried 'ri Array' on 10.5.3 and it worked fine.  That
would be using the 'ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111)' which is
included in 10.5.3 (that might be part of the Developers/Xcode package).

If you're using a version of ruby installed from macports, then it sounds
like something is wrong with that port.  While this reply does not help you
to fix that, at least you can use '/usr/bin/ri' to get listings of most of
the ruby documentation.  I doubt all that much changed between 1.8.6 and
1.8.7!
