This works under 1.8.7:

get “/” do  
erb :text  
end

**END**

@@text

# If you can read this

### then we're up & running

But running it under 1.9.2-p0 results in this error:

No such file or directory

- /home/ubuntu/load/\<internal:lib/rubygems/views/text.erb

Already read through previous posts on Sinatra + 1.9.2 issues, checked  
google, and didn’t find much in either. Did find some suggestions that  
I manually set the :view path, but that’s for external, not inline,  
templates. Any suggestions?

Thanks,  
Alex

This bit me too. I think it is another side-effect of the issues  
discussed here:

```
http://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/issues/issue/50

```

My suggestion: set the views path manually for now and hope that this  
is fixed in the next release of Sinatra (due real soon now  
apparently).
