Hey all,   I've got an issue trying to figure out this asset pipeline stuff... So in my application layout, I have: \<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag "application" %\> which translates the URL to /assets/application.css in the HTML output. The problem is that it can never find it -- I can see the file under app/assets/stylesheets/application.css . I've tried moving it to just app/assets/application.css and it doesn't pick it up either. The pipeline is enabled in the application.rb (config.assets.enabled = true), but the only way I've found for Rails to pickup the CSS file is to place it in public/assets/application.css . So the stylesheet\_link\_tag (as well as image\_tag, javascript\_include\_tag, etc...) is looking in public/assets instead of using app/assets/[asset type]/. Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm new to Rails 3.1 so I'm not sure if this is expected operation or something is broken... Thanks in advance!! - Jeff ---

UPDATE:   I upgraded to Rails 3.1.0.rc6 and it's working now. I guess something is broken for the asset pipeline in rc4...
