Latest gem file version found on RubyGems.org is dated January 06, 2019. There have been recent commits for this project, have the gem repositories been updated? Could this error I am seeing be resolved by the latest changes dated 10 days ago (as of todays date which is April 02, 2019)

What version of ruby and rdoc do you use? Could you post the output of ruby --version and rdoc --version?

It works for me.

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.6.2p47 (2019-03-13 revision 67232) [x86_64-linux]
$ rdoc --version
6.1.0
$ gem install ruby-oci8

ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError) in your comment corresponds to Parsing documentation for ruby-oci8-2.2.7. So I guess that the error may be related to rdoc version. Edited: Could you post the output of gem --version also?

$ gem --version
3.0.3

My configuration:

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.3.6p384 (2017-12-14 revision 61254) [x86_64-linux]
$ rdoc --version
6.0.4
$ gem --version
2.5.2.2

It is entirely possible that I have an installation-specific issue, but based on my observations as I stated earlier I thought it would be wise to eliminate the possibility of a problem with the gem. If all is well, I will continue with my troubleshooting.

Thank you for your insight, I really appreciate it.

EDITED: Based on your initial determination that the error is related to generation of rdoc files, I executed the gem install with --no-ri --no-rdoc and gem installation was successful. Thank you for helping me, and I am glad that there is no problem with the gem.
