Rails - May 2006 - ''NameError: uninitialized constant <MyEntity>'' in console

When I create a new model entity, and try to access it from the Rails 
console I get the error:
>> b = Bar.new(:name => ''Some Bar'')
NameError: uninitialized constant Bar
        from (irb):1
        from :0

(My model class is called Bar, and is in file app/models/bar.rb)

So, I try to load the model class file, and I run into a more frigtening 
error:
>> load ''app/models/bar.rb''
NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveRecord
        from ./app/models/bar.rb:1
        from (irb):3
        from :0

I am using Rails 1.1.2 with Ruby 1.8.4 on Mac OS X 10.4 and MySQL 
4.1.18. I get these errors only when I use the Rails console; the model 
classes are accessible from the controller and the web pages are painted 
properly.

Kindly let me know what is going wrong here.

Thanks,
Binil

How are you starting up the Rails console?

Removing the line:
 IRB.conf[:LOAD_MODULES] = [''irb/completion'']
from my $HOME/.irbrc worked!

By invoking script/console from the application directory.
