I''m trying to add an RSS feed to my small Rails app, and was trying to
get going by following the example in the ActionPack rdoc. After
substituting the right variable names, I''m getting this, which I
don''t
believe is related to my template:

Any ideas to point me in the right direction?

To fix, upgrade rake to 0.4.9. Basically, gems can auto-require dependencies, meaning rake (prior to 0.4.9, which disables auto-require) is required when running rails. Now, this doesn''t normally cause a problem, except in builder, which uses a stripped down object to work its magic. When rake is required, it includes methods at the top-level, and this happens _after_ the builder object is stripped down. One of the methods that happens to be included by rake is link (as in symlink), which is then called instead of method_missing on the builder object. Thus the weird error message.

Thus the weird error message.You can also upgrade to Builder 1.2.1 which uses the "method_added" hook to prevent late method additions to Kernel and Object from polluting the BlankSlate class (upon which Builder is based). -- -- Jim Weirich jim-Fxty1mrVU9GlFc2d6oM/ew@public.gmane.org http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)
