Backgroundrb devel - Jul 2007 - plugin not loading for model? (acts_as_ferret)

Hi all,

I''m using the older win32 happy backgroundrb in combination with the 
''acts_as_ferret'' install as a plugin.
Since I''ve installed acts_as_ferret, I haven''t been able to
get
backgroundrb to start. It keeps failing at the
''acts_as_ferret'' method
call in one of my models.
Here''s a code snippet of the model:

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base  
  acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :description, :subject, :author]

etc......

It keeps failing when it gets to the acts_as_ferret call in the model:

./script/backgroundrb/../../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1248:in
`method_missing'': undefined method `acts_as_ferret'' for
Book:Class
(NoMethodError)
from ./script/backgroundrb/../../config/../app/models/book.rb:2
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in 
`require''
....

I''m guessing that backgroundrb isn''t loading other plugins
whent the
rails environment loads, but I''m not really sure. I''ve tried
to require
acts_as_ferret in the backgroundrb start script (but I''m probably doing
it wrong).
Is anyone able to help with how to get this working, or am I completely 
off track?

thanks,
Dan

You''ll need the '':remote => true'' option on the
acts_as_ferret call.

You might need to tweak your backgroundrb rails middle man to make  
sure its loading in the plugins, I would expect it to be doing so  
though, but I''ve not used the earlier versions of backgroundrb.
