Hi

I tried installing both acts\_as\_list and token\_generator plugin, and  
it seems to work, except when I try to use something from the plugin  
the functions can’t be found:

undefined method `generate\_token’ for #TestController:0x7f359c4adc28

The tztime plugin did work, but that plugin does not install anything  
into vendor/plugins. So is there something wrong with my lib path or  
something? And where do I find out about where the program is  
searching for lib paths?

Thanks

Turns out I didn’t have irb installed. So I just told Ubuntu to  
install irb and all these problems went away.
