Hello,

I installed a gem to make a new function in system, the gem is: Vimeo.  
([GitHub - matthooks/vimeo: A full featured Ruby implementation of the Vimeo API](http://github.com/matthooks/vimeo))

I’m using bundler to install gem s and make them up to date.

When I run bundle check, it says that everything is OK.  
When I run: gem install vimeo, it goes all fine too.

The problem is that when I run the console and type “Vimeo” it gives me  
this:  
NameError: uninitialized constant Vimeo

For the sake of information, I have many other gems installed and I can  
run them in console. Example:  
I have the Twitter gem installed and when I run “Twitter” in console, it  
returns Twitter, as expected.

I am runnin Ruby on Rails on Ubuntui 10.04. Everything is up to date.

I can’t figure out why it doesn’t run.

If you guys need more details, please let me know!

Thanks in advance buddies!

It is Rails 2, and I did everything correctly.

Actually, I solved the problem. It didn’t load the class because it didt  
expect some deprecated dependencies, so I contacted the gem developer  
and he solved the problem, as you can see here:

So, thanks for the help!
