[Radiant] Trouble deploying Radiant on a shared host

[Matt Bauman]

Thanks for the links, Mohit.  I bookmarked that wiki -- it looks like  
a good source of info.  Unfortunately, it wasn't the magic potion for  
me this time.

I've done a bit more playing around and trying to narrow down the  
candidates for failure.  It can't be the database, any of the non-cgi  
config files, or ruby itself -- the app works from ./script/server.   
The cgi scripts all point to ruby correctly, and are identical to a  
working rails app.  I really don't think my .gemrc or  
my .bash_profile are screwed up... both have correct directories for  
the gem path and home.

Does Radiant have any gem dependencies (or other external  
dependencies)?  What are they?  Could one of those on my server be  
out of date?  The fcgi gem is version 0.8.7 -- that's the latest one.

***Ooh, dropping into ./script/console throws an error: /home/ 
user_name/gems/gems/radiant-0.6.0/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../ 
activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in  
`load_missing_constant':NameError: uninitialized constant  
ActionController::Assertions::ResponseAssertions

Here's the (condensed) output of gem list, for what it's worth:
