 Recently installed 0.5  on Snow Leopard.

 First time I tried to run macri I got the following:

 core:in `open:': Permission denied - open() failed (Errno::EACCES)
         from
 /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rdoc/ri/driver.rb:383:in
 `create_class_cache'
         from
 /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rdoc/ri/driver.rb:348:in
 `class_cache'
         from core:in `each'
         from
 /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rdoc/ri/driver.rb:591:in
 `run'
         from
 /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rdoc/ri/driver.rb:303:in
 `run:'
         from /usr/local/bin/macri:3:in `<main>'

 I guessed the problem was permissions, and reran the command under sudo.
 This time the response was:
 Updating class cache with 1317 classes...
 ----------------------------------------------------
 and then the documentation.

 Seems like the installation needs to create the directory for the cache,
 or something -- the new user shouldn't be expected to recognize the
 problem.
