After i install the acts\_as\_ratable plugin, my app says

[code=]NameError in UploadController#list

undefined local variable or method `acts\_as\_rateable’ for Jclass:Class  
RAILS\_ROOT: script/…/config/…

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active\_record/base.rb:1235:in  
`method_missing' app/models/jclass.rb:2 app/controllers/upload_controller.rb:12:in`list’[/code]  
I’ve tried installing the plugin from 2 diffrent places, neither seem to  
fix the issue. Here my model code

[code=]class Jclass \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_rateable  
file\_column :file  
belongs\_to :user  
acts\_as\_ferret :fields =\> [:author, :title, :description]  
acts\_as\_textiled :description  
validates\_presence\_of :title, :description, :file  
validates\_uniqueness\_of :title  
has\_many :jcomments  
validates\_format\_of :file,  
:with =\> %r{.(java|jar|zip)$}i,  
:message =\> “must be a .java, .jar or .zip file”

end[/code]  
and heres the list method in the upload controller:

`def list
    @jclass_pages, @jclasses = paginate :jclasses, :per_page => 10
  end`
