Has anyone encountered this error message with the ActiveScaffold  
plugin?

I’m working on Windows XP (yes) with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.3.2. I  
just created a new, fresh Rails application with a single model  
(“users”), installed the ActiveScaffold plugin, and followed the other  
two steps in the ActiveScaffold Getting Started tutorial.

When I run the app, and browse to the resource (e.g.  
[http://localhost:3000/users](http://localhost:3000/users))  
I immediately see the following:

```
 NoMethodError in UsersController#index

 undefined method `link' for #<ActiveScaffold::Config::List:

```

0x4774e90\>

Look familiar? What am I missing? I haven’t done anything to the  
application except what was required by the tutorial.

Am I the _only_ developer trying this plugin under Windows?

Many thanks for any pointers.  
Tim

Just found more information on this problem at

It seems the problem is quite new, perhaps from an incomplete commit  
done earlier today. Problem has been logged at
