Hi Guys,

Background: I am trying to run the Google OpenCellID project, but to  
no avail.

I have searched long and hard for a solution to this problem, but to  
no avail. I have ensured that I have the latest version of Ruby,  
mongrel\_rails, open\_id\_authentication etc. I have even go so far as to  
check the diffs to make sure that everything is okay, but I see get  
this error when I run ruby script/server

=\> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)  
=\> Rails application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server  
\*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000  
\*\* Starting Rails with development environment…

Everything I have read only handles cases where users have upgraded  
from an ealier version of Ruby, and have an old version of  
open\_id\_authentication. I have just install both ruby and open\_id,  
brand new, so I would expect to have the latest version.

Any ideas…I admin I am a complete ruby noob, so any help or pointers  
in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance  
Keith

Hi Keith,

Have you “required” the OpenID library in your environment.rb file?
