The name 'Client' is reserved by Ruby on Rails.
Please choose an alternative and run this generator again.
I did a bit of searching and I couldn't find anything about the word
"client" being reserved in Rails. I've also already setup my data
model (prior to installing the resources_controller) and I was able to
run my migrations just fine with this name.

James is right that this is something that Rails is complaining
about. I never quite figured out why Rails thought that I had these
constants defined. I ran into another problem trying to create a
vendor resource. I believe the problem with vendor may be that there
are other constants defined in the vendor folder.
Since I had already created my models and I just wanted to stub out
the r_c stuff I added the following hack to the
scaffold_resource_generator.rb that comes with r_c
module Rails
module Generator
module Commands
class Create
def raise_class_collision(class_name)
# Do Nothing
end
end
end
end
end
Just in case anyone else is running into that issue.
