Not sure if the is the right place to ask about gems; point me to the right place if this is not.

I installed the paginator (1.1.0) gem but my application can't seem to find it. I'm getting:

NameError in NodeController#index

uninitialized constant Paginator

Is there a better way to paginate than this gem?

Thanks.

did you add this to youtr initializers/environment.rb? require 'paginator'

Generally i yould suggest to rather use the will_paginate plugin ...

Shouldn't the gem installer do this?

I decided to give paginating_find a shot. So far it's working great.
