The error is:

$ rbbr

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in CVS. However, it still doesn't show
any document though ri and refe are installed (but that's another
story).

similar problem:

[$][ghei][~] rbbr 
No ri documentation found in:
     /usr/share/ri/1.8/system
     /usr/share/ri/1.8/site
     /home/cagnulein/.rdoc

Was rdoc run to create documentation?

@Comment #2:

You have run "rdoc --ri" before starting rbbr, haven't you? Because that is what the error message wants to tell you.
