    I haven’t had any experience with that gem yet, but I hope this can help you to track your rdoc and ri doc path.

    gem env

    on my Mac system, I found this path from INSTALLATION DIRECTORY

    /opt/experiment/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/doc/

    And when I open it (or explore in Windows) I saw some gems’ rdoc/ri doc inside this path. Try to remove your gem’s doc there. Let me know if it works, it’s working here on my Mac.

    Next time when you install rubygems but don’t want ri/rdoc installed, remember to type this --no-rdoc --no-ri option when you do gem install something

    As a reference comparison I’ll just copy paste my gem env here

    . gem env

    Update (7/28/2019): --no-ri --no-rdoc no longer work in Rubygems >= 2.0. Alternatively, you can use --no-document to omit documentation.
