Subject: getting eRuby to run under mod_ruby

Hi,

I have mod_ruby running fine for regular Ruby scripts, but attempting to
call eRuby from mod_ruby yields this error:

[Mon Jan 27 10:23:59 2003] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
 (eval): uninitialized constant ERubyRun at Apache (NameError)
         from ruby:0:in `value'

I found a couple of messages in the archives from people with the same
problem, but no solution other than a pasted config from someone for
whom it worked.

My config seems to conform to the instructions:

<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
    RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
    Alias /mod_ruby /var/www/ruby
    
    # Execcute files under /ruby as Ruby scripts
    <Location /mod_ruby>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
        Options +ExecCGI
    </Location> 
    
    # Execute *.rbx files as Ruby scripts
    <Files *.rbx>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
    </Files>

  # handle *.rhtml as eruby files.
  <Files *.rhtml>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
  </Files>
</IfModule>

From the error, it would appear that eRuby is being invoked. It's just
that something isn't being initialised correctly.

This is with Ruby 1.6.8, eRuby 1.0.2 and mod_ruby 1.0.4.

Any ideas? As usual, I feel like I must be missing something obvious.
