The following lines of login\_engine/init\_engine.rb are failing in my  
setup:

–

# TODO: why do I have to include these here, when including them in

login\_engine.rb should be sufficient?  
require ‘authenticated\_user’  
require ‘authenticated\_system’

## d:/ruby/ruby-1.8.4-16/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require\_\_’: no such file to load – authenticated\_user (MissingSourceFile)

If I comment them, everything is Ok.

Since I am using svn:externals, what is the best way to override this  
file before commiters figure out the issue? Currently, I edit this  
file but the change stays uncommitted.

Thanks for help!  
Eduardo

This is fixed in the release branch - see

Thanks James, I’ll give it a look.
