I installed the plugin Paperclip but I still I get the error

undefined method `has\_attached\_file’

when I try to use it. I followed the directions on this  
[http://media.railscasts.com/videos/134\_paperclip.mov](http://media.railscasts.com/videos/134_paperclip.mov)

Why would I be getting an error?
