Problem with extend rails(add new function in lib)

[hei]

I do things below:

In lib/translater.rb
class Translater
require "rubygems"
require "rmmseg"
include "RMMSeg"
...
def segment(text)
RMMSeg::segment(text)
end
end

in helper/xx/xxx.rb
module xx
require "translater.rb"
def translate(text)
Translater.run(text)
end
end

when i use helper method tranlate, erros:
undefined method `segment' for RMMSeg:Module
But when I test these in a simple ruby program it works well
Can anyone help me ?

What's the run method in translater? ALso it looks like this isn't the
exact code that is running - for example include "RMMSeg" is almost
certainly include RMMSeg; it's very hard to say anything about code
when it has been changed in small ways in between what you're running
and this mailing list - those changes could be key or could be hiding
the real problem.

Thanks!

class Translater
require "rubygems"
require "rmmseg"
include RMMSeg

RMMSeg::Config.max_word_length = 7
RMMSeg::Config.algorithm = :complex
RMMSeg::Config.dictionaries = [["dict/chars.dic", true],
["dict/words.dic", false],
["dict/desc.dic", false],
["dict/identity.dic", false],
["dict/name.dic", false],
]

Word = {}
File.open(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "dict",
"word_china_english.trans")).each do |line|
arr = line.split(" ")
arr[1] = arr[0] unless arr[1]
Word[arr[0]] = Word[arr[1]]
end
def self.segment(phrase)
p RMMSeg::Config.max_word_length
RMMSeg::segment(phrase)
end

def self.run(phrase)
words = segment(phrase)
translation = ""
words.each do |word|
translation += Word[word].to_s + " "
end
translation
end

end

The actual problem is : why can not i use methods of some libray
(rmmseg in this exam) in rails.
I can use it in simple ruby program.
In rails, I encapsulate that method(segment) by a ruby class
(Translater), and put the source in folder lib/
when using it in helper functions, problem occurs like this:

undefined method `segment' for RMMSeg:Module

Thanks for your help again!

You must be doing something slightly different in your standalone ruby
script. The segment method from the RMMSeg module can't be called on
RMMSeg itself. You need to include the module in something

if you were to remove the segment method you've defined and replace it
with
extend RMMSeg
then it would probably work.
or equivalently

class Translater
...
class << self
include RMSSeg
def run(phrase)
....
end
end
end

It works, using extend RMMSeg
thank you ~~
