Rails - Jan 2010 - "uninitialized constant REXML::Document"

A pal of mine wrote an application, it runs for him just fine. We are
both running the same versions of Rails and Ruby and apparently the
gems.

When I run his app I get a mysterious "NameError (uninitialized constant
REXML::Document):" (see more of the server console below.)

It''s right at the getgo, at the include REXML.

When check, in IRB and ruby by itself, I have a perfectly fine running
install of REXML.

When I create a hello world Rails app and add a few lines of REXML it
works just fine as well.

Still his app fails on include REXML, even before it starts.

1. Does anyone have a clue of what I can look at to figure out why?

2. Do you know where in rails startup the ''include REXML''
would be
occurring?

I can add a lot more detail but thought I''d start with the top level
question to see if something jumps out at anyone. Thanks a lot!! (See
below for the console)

Check the following file here:

lib/ttv/import_export.rb

See what it''s including at the top of that file and make sure you have 
everything it''s asking for.

Here''s the file: 
http://github.com/trustthevote/ElectionManager/blob/master/lib/ttv/import_export.rb

You see, it doesn''t require or include anything.... I have to assume 
that somehow implicitly or explicitly REXML is included and required 
elsewhere but not sure how to troubleshoot that...
