After I installed prawnto in my project, Mongrel fails to start with  
these backtrace lines:

/home/inet/Aptana RadRails  
Workspace/wvz/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:275:in  
`load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Memoizable (NameError) from /home/inet/Aptana RadRails Workspace/wvz/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:467:in`const\_missing’  
from /home/inet/Aptana RadRails  
Workspace/wvz/vendor/plugins/prawnto/lib/prawnto/template\_handler/compile\_support.rb:5

Any idea how to fix this?

Sounds like your app is using a version of rails that is too old

That’s what I guessed and for that completly uninstalled rails and gem  
from my system and reinstalled gem1.8 + rails 2.3.5

But it did not change anything. Running ‘script/server’ -u’ from my  
project still invokes  
/home/inet/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/… stuff, while 2.3.5  
is also available there.

How to update the project? (Running rails:update didn’t help.)

the version to use is set in environment.rb (unless you have frozen  
rails into vendor)

Thanks, now the debugger is starting up, but the bad news is, that I  
still get the same message, than with the former version:

uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Memoizable (NameError)

How to get rid of this plugin?

This was nonsense, sorry. mysql was missing. After running

apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev  
gem install mysql

My app now runs again. Thanks for your help.
