I’ve installed the ckeditor gem. I’m running rails 2.8.3 and have  
followed the steps in the README file for the gem. Everything seems to  
run without error through the \<%= javascript\_include\_tag :ckeditor %\> -  
except that to make it work I have to replace :ckeditor with “ckeditor”.

When I try to use the helper: \<%= ckeditor\_textarea(“object”, “field”,  
:width =\> ‘100%’, :height =\> ‘200px’) %\> (I’m copying it verbatim from  
the documentation and will tailor it after I have it generating the  
editor), it fails with the following error message:

undefined method `ckeditor\_textarea’ for  
#ActionView::Base:0xb5e7abe8

Obviously, I’m omitting something I need to do. Would someone be so kind  
as to let me know what I’m missing?

Thanks much.
