After upgrading to Rails 2.0.2, acts\_as\_taggable is not working.

Under Rails 1.2.6, acts\_as\_taggable worked fantastic.

I upgraded to Rails 2.0.2 and receive the following error when Mongrel  
starts up----

ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem\_original\_require’: no such file to load – acts\_as\_taggable  
(MissingSourceFile)

it shows up in gem list acts\_as\_taggable (2.0.2)  
gem -v 1.0.1  
rails -v Rails 2.0.2  
I tried loading it in the environment.rb and also through  
config/initializers.

I followed this step in the acts\_as\_taggable readme

* * *

class Photo \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_taggable  
end

becomes

class Photo \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_taggable :join\_table =\> “tags\_photos”  
end

* * *

I upgraded, this was not a new install of Ruby on Rails 2.0.

This is happening on Windows and OS X.

Did I miss something?

Thank you for the help.

Anna

acts \_as\_taggable is moved from core Rails 2.0 to a plugin…
