Pagination

I am using an old tutorial which is tripping me right up as I have the  
latest version of rails installed. I’m persisting as I think I’m  
learning a little bit more about how RoR works. However after installing

and attempted to place require will\_paginate in the environment.rb  
location, but I find that I cannot then rub the Webrick server. I get

home/brett/RoR/Apps/OpenBenefit/depot/config/environment.rb:42:  
undefined local variable or method `will\_paginate’ for main:Object  
(NameError)

you’re missing some quote marks around will\_paginate. More up to date  
advice would be to use the config.gem stuff to load will\_paginate
