Hi,everyone  
I’m a freshman for study ROR,I was try to deal the book.  
When I was in chap 6,it need to install a plugin that call  
acts\_as\_threaded.But I can’t deal with it.  
I had used gem install and ruby script/plugin install.If you know how  
to deal with it ,please give me a favor!

I doubt you’re going to have much luck getting that plugin installed  
on a modern Rails stack; it’s old enough that it depended on the built-  
in acts\_as\_nested\_set stuff which was split off into a plugin back in  
2007(?).

The book’s code examples run on Rails 1.1.6; I’d recommend that you  
find a book that at least deals with Rails 2, as getting code examples  
from 2006 running today will be seriously difficult for a new  
developer.

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers!  
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.  
A day may come when the courage of men fails when we forsake our friends  
and  
break all bonds of fellowship.  
But this is not this day.  
And hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes  
crashing  
down. But this is not this day!  
This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid  
you  
stand! Men of the West!
