[Rails] Uninitialized constant ApplicationController?

Hello list,

I'm trying to start my Rails server after doing a long complex switch
from Postgres to MySQL, and I'm getting the following error:

=> Booting WEBrick...
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in

I've seen the 'Uninitialized constant ...' message before, but it's
always been because of a simple typo on my part, or a version mismatch
somewhere.  I'm on Gentoo Linux, MySQL 5.0.18, Rails 1.0, current
versions of login_engine and user_engine, and that combination of
versions seems to be fine as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions where to look?

Thanks in advance

Dave M.
