I created a “Page” class and rolled in Acts as Versioned. I received  
the following error:

uninitialized constant  
ActiveRecord::Acts::Versioned::ClassMethods::Inflector

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/  
dependencies.rb:442:in `load_missing_constant' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:77:in`const\_missing’  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts\_as\_versioned-0.2.3/lib/  
acts\_as\_versioned.rb:120:in `acts_as_versioned' app/models/page.rb:2 app/controllers/pages_controller.rb:5:in`index’  
script//server:3

Anybody have a suggestion as to how to fix?

Go to the acts\_as\_versioned.rb at line 120 and change the reference to  
“Inflector” for “ActiveSupport::Inflector”.

As I understand your direction, you want me to change  
“ActiveSupport::Inflector” to “Inflector.” However, Inflector was what  
was at the line you referenced. (Acts\_as\_versioned v. 0.2.3)

Perhaps you meant to turn “Inflector” to “ActiveSupport::Inflector”  
instead? I assume this is what you meant, as it introduces a change. I  
made this change and started up the server. It works. Thanks.
